4. Configure the following fields:
Wireless Band—Select the 2 4 GHz or 5 GHz radio band The 5 GHz band
is much less crowded than the 2 4 GHz band, so it is more likely to be
free from interference Although the 5 GHz band is ideal for streaming
multimedia, not all wireless client devices support the 5 GHz radio band
Network Mode (5 GHz)—Select your network's wireless standard If you
have both Wireless-N (802 11n) and Wireless-A (802 11a) devices in your
network, keep the default setting, Mixed If you have only Wireless-N
devices in your network, select Wireless-N Only If you have only
Wireless-A devices in your network, select Wireless-A Only
Network Mode (2.4 GHz)—Select your network's wireless standard
If you have Wireless-N (802 11n), Wireless-G (802 11g), and Wireless-B
(802 11b) devices in your network, keep the default, Mixed If you
have only Wireless-N devices, select Wireless-N Only If you have only
Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices in your network, select Wireless-B/G
Only If you have only Wireless-G devices, select Wireless-G Only If you
have only Wireless-B devices, select Wireless-B Only
Network Name (SSID)—The SSID is the name of your wireless network
This network name is shared among all the wireless devices connected
to your wireless network The SSID is case-sensitive
Channel Width—For best performance in a Wireless-N network, select
40 MHz only (available only in the 5 GHz radio band) or Auto In Auto
mode, the WAP300N and the network client devices automatically switch
to the 40 MHz mode if:
Your wireless client devices support the 40 MHz mode in which two
•
20 MHz channels are bonded together for better performance
and
There is no adjacent interference
•
Channel—Select the operating channel for your wireless network Your
WAP300N will automatically select the channel with the least amount
of interference if you leave the default Auto setting We recommend
keeping the default (Auto)
SSID Broadcast—Select Enabled (default) to allow wireless client
devices to "see" the wireless network name If you do not want to
broadcast the WAP300N's SSID, select Disabled We recommend keeping
the default setting (Enabled)
