Wireless Settings

This section will help you to manually configure the wireless

settings of your router. Please note that changes made on this

section may also need to be duplicated on your Wireless Client.

Select this checkbox to enable wireless access.

When you set this option, the following

parameters take effect.

Also known as the SSID (Service Set Identifier),

this is the name of your Wireless Local Area

Network (WLAN). Enter a name using up to

32 alphanumeric characters. The SSID is case-

sensitive. The default name is “dlink_DWR-116”.

B/G/N mixed: Enable this mode if your network

contains a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g devices.

G mode: Enable this mode if your network

has only 802.11g devices. If you have both

802.11b and 802.11g wireless clients, disable

this mode.

Click

Auto.Channel.Scan

to automatically select the channel that it will operate on. This option is recommended because the

router will choose the channel with the least amount of interference.

Choose the clearest channel to help optimize the performance and coverage of your wireless network. By default the channel is

set to 11. This can be changed to fit the channel setting for an existing wireless network or to customize your wireless network.

Select

Invisible

if you do not want the SSID of your wireless network to be broadcast by the DWR-116. The SSID of your router

will not be seen by site survey utilities. Therefore while setting up your wireless clients, you will have to manually enter your

SSID to connect to the router.
