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.
