least amount of interference.

Use the drop-down menu to select the appropriate Transmission Rate in Mbits per second. Many users will want to use the default setting,

Enable Wi-Fi Multimedia to enjoy basic quality of service features. WMM prioritizes traffic according to four access categories: voice,

video, best effort, and background.

Check this option if you would not like the SSID of your wireless network to be broadcasted by the DIR-300. If this option is checked,

the SSID of the DIR-300 will not be seen by Site Survey utilities so your wireless clients will have to know the SSID of your DIR-300

in order to connect to it.
