802.11a/g Router User’s Guide
order to access it, you will need to use UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) or other management tools that
do not depend on a fixed IP address.
It is strongly recommended that you select the manual static IP address.
CONFIGURE YOUR WIRELESS LAN CONNECTION
In the following configuration screen, you can configure wireless related parameters of your
802.11a/g Router:
Network Name (SSID): The SSID is the network name used to identify a wireless network. The
SSID must be the same for all devices in the wireless network. Several Routers on a network can have
the same SSID. The SSID can be up to 32 characters long. This SSID is used for both radios (i.e.
802.11a and 802.11 b/g).
Disable SSID Broadcasting: An access point periodically broadcasts its SSID, along with other
information, which allows client stations to learn its existence while searching for Routers in the
wireless network. Select Disable if you do not want the device to broadcast the SSID.
Regulatory Domain: This place shows the regulatory domain where the device is running. This field
cannot be changed by regulation.
WLAN standard: Here you can set the configuration for the radio.
Mode: You can select the radio to run the 802.11b/g (mix mode – allowing both 802.11b and 802.11g
to co-exist), 802.11g only, 802.11g turbo, super g without turbo, super g with dynamic turbo,
super g with static turbo, 802.11a, 802.11a turbo, super a without turbo, super a with dynamic
turbo, or super a with static turbo protocol (the turbo mode is only applied where the regulation
allows).
Channel: Select the channel from the available list to match your network settings. All devices in the
wireless network must use the same channel and share the total bandwidth available.
Note: The available channels are different from country to country and for different WLAN mode.
Security Policy: You can select different security policy to provide association authentication and/or
data encryption.
