3. Assign a unique name containing up to 32 characters for your
SSID (Service Set Identifier) or network name to identify your
wireless network. Wi-Fi devices can identify and connect to
the wireless network via your assigned SSID. The SSIDs on the
information banner are updated once new SSIDs are saved to
the settings.
4. In the Hide SSID field, select Yes to prevent wireless devices
from detecting your SSID. When this function is enabled, you
would need to enter the SSID manually on the wireless device
to access the wireless network.
5. Select any of these wireless mode options to determine the
types of wireless devices that can connect to your wireless
router:
• Auto: Select Auto to allow 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11g, and
802.11b devices to connect to the wireless router.
• Legacy: Select Legacy to allow 802.11b/g/n devices to
connect to the wireless router. Hardware that supports
802.11n natively, however, will only run at a maximum speed
of 54Mbps.
• N only: Select N only to maximize wireless N performance.
This setting prevents 802.11g and 802.11b devices from
connecting to the wireless router.
• b/g Protection: In most situations, the best performance is
achieved with the wireless protected mode turned off. If you
are using the router in an environment with heavy 802.11b,
802.11g traffic or serious interference, enable this function to
ensure the best performance of your 802.11n throughput.
6. Select any of these channel bandwidth to accommodate higher
transmission speeds:
20/40MHz: Select this bandwidth to maximize the wireless
throughput.
20MHz (default): Select this bandwidth if you encounter some
issues with your wireless connection.
