LABEL DESCRIPTION
Wireless Setup
Wireless LAN Select the radio button to Enable or Disable Wireless LAN.
You can turn the wireless LAN on or off using the switch at the rear panel of the NBG.
Network Name
(SSID)
(Service Set IDentity) The SSID identifies the Service Set with which a wireless station is
associated. Wireless stations associating to the NBG must have the same SSID. Enter a
descriptive name (up to 32 keyboard characters) for the wireless LAN.
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.
Refer to the Connection Wizard chapter for more information on channels. This option is
only available if Auto Channel Selection is disabled.
Operating
Channel
This displays the channel the NBG is currently using.
Network Mode
(Wireless LAN
2.4G)
Select 11b/g mixed mode to allow IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the NBG.
Select 11b only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to associate with the
NBG.
Select 11g only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the
NBG.
Select 11n only to allow only IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the
NBG.
Select 11b/g/n mixed mode to allow IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n
compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NBG.
Network Mode
(Wireless LAN
5G)
Select 11a/n mixed mode to allow IEEE802.11a and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the NBG.
Select 11a only to allow only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with the
NBG.
Select 11ac/a/n to allow only IEEE 802.11a, IEEE802.11an and IEEE802.11ac compliant
WLAN devices to associate with the NBG.
Channel
Bandwidth
Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network.
It is recommended that you select 20/40 (20, 40, 20/40 MHz).
Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your
neighborhood.
Extension
Channel
This is set to Auto by default.
If you select 20/40 as your Channel Bandwidth, the extension channel enables the NBG
to get higher data throughput. This also lowers radio interference and traffic.
