Field

Description

Enable or disable

wireless

This option is used to configure the Wireless LAN

interface on the router. The Wireless LAN is enabled by

default, meaning that it is possible to connect your

wireless devices to the router.

Select ‘Disable’ to switch off the Wireless LAN interface on

the router. If set to ‘Disable’, it is not possible to connect

your wireless devices to the router. The WLAN light on the

front of the router will not be lit if this option is selected.

Select ‘Enable’ to switch the Wireless LAN interface on,

allowing you to connect wireless devices to the router.

The WLAN light on the front panel of the router will be lit

if this option is selected.

Wireless Mode

This dropdown is used to configure the 802.11 wireless

mode the router is transmitting on. By default the router is

set to transmit on ‘11b+11g+11n’ mode for maximum

compatibility.

Select ‘11n only’ to set the router to 802.11n mode only.

Only wireless adapters or devices supporting 802.11n can

connect to the router if this mode is selected and older

802.11b/g adapters will not be able to connect to the

network. A connection speed of up to 300Mbps is

supported in this mode.

Select ‘11b+11g’ to set the router to 802.11b/g mode only.

Select this mode if you are only using wireless 802.11b or

802.11g wireless adapters or devices. 802.11n wireless

devices will not be able to connect to the network. In

order to connect with WEP security, you must select

‘11b+11g’ mode. The connection speed will be limited to

54Mbps in this mode.

Select ‘11b+11g+11n’ for maximum compatibility with both

the newer 802.11n and 802.11b/g standards. A connection

speed of up to 300Mbps is supported in this mode.

Channel

This option is used to configure the 2.4GHz radio channel

for wireless communication. By default the router will

select the wireless channel with the least interference in

the ‘Auto’ mode using the Intelligent Wireless feature.

Select ‘Auto’ for the router to determine which wireless

channel to use automatically based on the least channel

interference (Intelligent Wireless).

Select channels 1-13 to set a radio channel manually.

Please note that some wireless devices do not support the

European channels 12 and 13. If in doubt, only select from

Channels 1-11.

Wireless Network

Name (SSID)

This field is used to configure the Wireless Network Name

(also known as a SSID) that is transmitted by the router,

and displayed in the wireless network list when making a

connection to the router.

By default your router will have a unique SSID applied by

EE. For example ‘BrightBox-1a2b3c’.

Broadcast SSID

This option is used to configure whether the Wireless

Network Name (SSID) is being broadcast by the router. By
