Region or
Domain
Select your region from the drop-down list.
This field displays the region of operation for which the wireless
interface is intended. It may not be legal to operate the router in a region
other than the region shown here. If your country or region is not listed,
please check with your local government agency for more information
on which channels you are allowed to use, and select a region, which
allows those channels. (The channel list changes according to the
selected region.)
Station name
This is the same as the Device (Host) Name on the WAN screen. On
your PC, some Wireless status screens may display this name as the
Access Point in use.
Network Type
Select the correct value for your Wireless LAN.
• Ad-hoc mode is used when there is no Wireless Access Point, and
each Wireless station communicates directly with other Wireless
stations.
• Infrastructure mode is used when each Wireless station connects to
the Wireless Access point. This also provides access to the wired
LAN.
SSID
(ESSID)
To communicate, all Wireless stations MUST use the same
SSID/ESSID.
The default value is blank (null).
Note! The SSID is case sensitive.
