when you click the
Save Settings
button, and it will take several seconds to scan through all the channels to find
the best channel. For the Wireless-N 40MHz channel option (see Wireless - Advanced Wireless Settings Tab), the
Wireless Router will automatically select the adjacent 20MHz channel to combine them into a wider channel.
SSID Broadcast
. This option allows the SSID to be broadcast on your network. You may want to enable this
function while configuring your network, but make sure that you disable it when you are finished. With this
enabled, someone could easily obtain the SSID information with site survey software or Windows XP and gain
unauthorized access to your network. Click
Enabled
to broadcast the SSID to all wireless devices in range. Click
Disabled
to increase network security and prevent the SSID from being seen on networked PCs. The default is
Enabled
in order to help users configure their network before use.
