,

this option will be greyed out.

Select the transmission rate in Mbps. It is strongly suggested to select

Tick this checkbox if you do not want the SSID of your wireless network to be broadcasted by the DIR-685. If the checkbox

is ticked, the SSID of the DIR-685 will not be seen by site survey utilities, so wireless clients will have to know the SSID

of the DIR-685 in order to connect to it.
