The General Settings page lets you configure the basic settings of your Wireless Management
System.
• Name: This unique value indicates the Wireless Management System name. By default, the
name is wms5316.
NETGEAR recommends changing the name as soon as possible after setting up. The name
must contain only alphabetical characters, numbers, and hyphens, and must be 31 characters or
less.
• Country/Region: This field displays the region of operation for the Wireless Management
System and the access points managed by the Wireless Management System. In the United
States, the country is preset and cannot be changed on the access points. If the Country/Region
is not set up correctly, it could result in the access points being inaccessible by the Wireless
Management System.
For products sold outside the United States, you must select a country or region. It may not be
legal to operate the access points in a country/region not shown here. If your location is not listed,
check with your local government agency or check the NETGEAR website for more information
on which channels to use.
