Advanced Wireless Settings
To view the advanced wireless settings:
From the Advanced tab, select
Advanced Setup > Wireless Features
.
The following screen displays.
The following settings are available on this part of the screen:
Disable Gateway’s PIN
. The PIN function might temporarily be disabled when the
modem router detects suspicious attempts to break into the modem router’s wireless
settings by using the modem router’s PIN through WPS. You can manually enable the
PIN function by clearing the Disable Gateway’s PIN check box.
Keep Existing Wireless Settings
. By default, the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check
box is selected. NETGEAR recommends that you leave this check box selected.
If you clear this check box, the next time a new wireless client uses WPS to connect to
the modem router, the modem router wireless settings change to an automatically
generated random SSID and security key.
WMM Support
.
WMM (Wireless Multimedia) is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WMM
allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities, depending on the kind of data.
Time-dependent information, like video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic.
For WMM to function properly, wireless clients must support WMM also.
Wireless Card Access List
By default, any wireless computer or device that is configured with the correct SSID is
allowed access to your wireless network. For increased security, allow only specific wireless
computers and devices to access the wireless network based on their MAC addresses.
