7.4.1 No Security
Select No Security to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access
points without any data encryption.
Hide SSID Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a
station cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
Channel
Selection
Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region.
Select a channel from the drop-down list box. The options vary depending
on the frequency band and the country you are in.
This option is only available if Auto Channel Selection is disabled.
Auto Channel
Selection
Select this check box for the NBG-460N to automatically choose the
channel with the least interference. Deselect this check box if you wish to
manually select the channel using the Channel Section field.
Operating
Channel
This displays the channel the NBG-460N is currently using.
Channel
Width
Select whether the NBG-460N uses a wireless channel width of 20 or 40
MHz.
A standard 20 MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps
whereas a 40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds
of up to 300 Mbps.
Because not all devices support 40 MHz channels, select Auto 20/40MHz
to allow the NBG-460N to adjust the channel bandwidth automatically.
This is set to 20 MHz by default. This lessens radio interference with
other wireless devices in your neighborhood.
Security
Mode
Select Static WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2-PSK or WPA2 to add
security on this wireless network. The wireless clients which want to
associate to this network must have same wireless security settings as
this device. After you select to use a security, additional options appears
in this screen. See 7.4.2, 7.4.3, 7.4.4 sections. Or you can select No
Security to allow any client to associate this network without
authentication.
This is set to No Security by default.
Note: If the WPS function is enabled (default), only No Security,
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK are available in this field.
