Section 3 - Configuration

To implement Wi-Fi protection, or WCN 2.0, tick the Enable

checkbox, click either

Generate New PIN

or

Reset PIN to

Default

, and then configure the Wi-Fi settings below. Please

see the Setting Up Wi-Fi Protection (WCN 2.0 in Windows

Vista) section later in this manual for detailed configuration

information.

Check the box to enable the wireless function. If you do

not want to use wireless, uncheck the box to disable all the

wireless functions.

Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name of your wireless

network. Create a name using up to 32 characters. The

SSID is case-sensitive.

Indicates the channel setting for the DIR-600. By default

the channel is set to 6. The Channel can be changed to

fit the channel setting for an existing wireless network or

to customize the wireless network. The

Auto Channel

Selection

setting can be selected to allow the DIR-600 to

choose the channel with the 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, Best (automatic).

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-600. If this option is

checked, the SSID of the DIR-600 will not be seen by Site Survey utilities so your wireless clients will have to know the SSID

of your DIR-600 in order to connect to it.
