Basic Settings
All Wi-Fi connected devices must use these Wi-Fi settings. If you change these settings,
existing connected devices may lose their connection.
Wi-Fi name: This sets the network name or SSID for the Wi-Fi network created by this device.
Enter a suitable name. The name can be up to 32 characters long.
Wi-Fi password: If a setting other than Open was selected in the Security field, a Wi-Fi
password is required. Enter the Wi-Fi password in this field. An on-page hint indicates the
password requirements for the current security option.
Maximum Wi-Fi connecte d devices: Specify how many devices can simultaneously connect
to this device (Maximum of 10).
Advanced Settings
By default, the advanced settings are hidden. Click the Show Advanced Settings link to
display the advanced settings. When the advanced settings are displayed, you can click the
Hide Advance d Settings link to hide them.
Channel: This should be left on Automatic unless you need to choose a particular channel for
your environment.
802.11 Mode: Use this setting to change the Wi-Fi mode, if required. If all of your connected
devices support 802.11n, selecting the option "802.11n only" will provide the best performance.
In other cases, it is recommended that you leave this setting at its default value.
Security: Select the desired option for Wi-Fi security. WPA2 is the latest and most secure
method, and should be used if possible.
None allows other people to monitor your Wi-Fi traffic and use your data plan to
access the Internet. If at all possible, using None should be avoided. Using WPA2
is strongly recommended, as this is the most secure method supported.
Broadcast Wi-Fi name: If this setting is enabled, this Wi-Fi network appears in the list of
available Wi-Fi networks on your connected devices. If disabled, this network will be invisible.
Wi-Fi range: Use this option to determine the strength of the Wi-Fi signal, and hence the size
of the Wi-Fi network.
