Channel Width
Some wireless network modes support wireless channel widths besides
the standard 20 MHz. 802.11g & 802.11n offer the option to use 40 MHz
channels for enhanced throughput. Both the AP and the client must
support 40 MHz channels to use them.
Wireless Channel (AP only)
Set the desired wireless channel, or let the router choose a free
channel automatically. If the router is in classic WDS (MAC address
based) mode, then the wireless channel must be selected manually.
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
The name of the wireless network the radio transmits or connects to
(depending on the wireless mode)
Wireless SSID Broadcast (AP only)
The name of the wireless network (SSID) may be broadcasted or not.
This does not prevent the network from being detected by a wireless
network sniffer; it just hides the name.
Advanced Settings
Check this box to get access to advanced wireless settings. These
advanced parameters should be only modified by experienced users.

Wireless Security

Because wireless data packets can easily be sniffed, wireless
connections require a greater level of security to ensure that data
cannot be read by unauthorized users.
