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
