Steps
To access the Wireless menu:
1.
Access the Web interface. Refer to
Accessing the Web User Interface Locally on page
16
.
2. Click
Wireless
from the main menu.
9.1
Using the Wireless Radio Option
The
Radio
option is used to configure the wireless radio, including channel number, and
bandwidth control.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The DDW366 is a
dual-band concurrent
wireless gateway,
supporting operation of both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio bands simultaneously. On the
The Wireless Radio screen, the “Wireless Interfaces” drop down enables you to select the
radio you wish to configure settings for (i.e. changing the SSID name or password). The
selected band will then be reflected in the “802.11 Band” field. This control is only an
indicator of which band you are configuring, both the 2.4GHz and 5GHZ radios will be
enabled automatically.
Steps
To configure wireless operations:
1.
Click
Wireless
from the main menu.
2. The
Radio
screen is displayed. Field descriptions are listed below the screen
example.

Description
Wireless Interfaces
This field allows you to select one of the two radios (2.4GHz
or 5GHz) to actively configure settings for. It displays the
SSID for either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio (either the default
SSID or the SSID that has been assigned). This example
shows the setting when the user has chosen to configure
settings for the 2.4GHz band. After selecting Apply, the user
can then return to this field and configure settings for the
5GHZ radio. Refer to
Understanding Default Values and
Logins on page 8
for more information on the SSID.
NOTE: The DDW366 is a
dual-band concurrent
wireless
gateway, supporting operation of both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz
radio bands simultaneously.
Wireless
Displays the wireless radio’s status, Enabled or Disabled.
Country
Defines the country where this device is used. The default
value is Q2.
Output Power
Output power setup can be one of the following 4 options:
25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%.
802.11 Band
Displays which 802.11 band (either 2.4GHz or 5GHz) is
currently being configured.
NOTE: The DDW366 is a
dual-band concurrent
wireless
gateway, supporting operation of both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz
radio bands simultaneously.
802.11 n-mode
Sets the wireless networking standard. Select Auto to use
802.11 n mode when possible. This mode has a significant
increase in the maximum raw OSI physical layer data rate
from 54 Mbit/s to a maximum of 600 Mbit/s with the use of
four spatial streams when at a channel width of 40 MHz.

Scanning for Wireless Access Points (APs)
You can search for wireless access points and display the results in a new window.
Steps
To search for wireless access points:
1.
Click
Scan Wireless APs
at the bottom of the Wireless Radio screen. Results are
displayed in a new window.
802.11 N Support Required
Defines whether 802.11n support is required (on) or not (off).
On forces the gateway to 802.11n mode and clients must
support 802.11n.
Bandwidth
Sets the bandwidth to 20MHz or 40MHz. For 40 MHz, set the
sideband to lower or upper 20MHz. 40 MHz channels double
the channel width. This allows doubling the PHY data rate
over a single 20 MHz channel.
Sideband for Control Channel
Only when using 40MHz Bandwidth should you choose the
Lower or Upper 20MHz.
Control Channel
Selects a specific channel to deploy the wireless network.
This allows you to set the operating frequency/channel
depending on your particular region. Channel selection can
have an impact on wireless networking performance. Control
Channel is set to
Auto
by default. For more information, refer
to
Selecting a Wireless Channel on page 86
Regulatory Mode
Defines whether Regulatory Mode is set to off, 802.11d, or
802.11h.
TPC Mitigation (dB)
Defines the transmitter power control (TPC) mitigation setting
as 0 (off), 2, 3, or 4.
OBSS Coexistence
Enables or disables overlapping BSS coexistence.
STBC Tx
Sets the space-time block codes (STBCs) for the transmitting
antenna.
Apply
Saves all screen changes when clicked.
Restore Wireless Defaults
Restores the factory default settings for wireless
configurations when clicked.
Scan Wireless APs
Scans for other wireless access points and displays channel,
encryption, SSID, RSSI levels, and other information.

Using the Primary Network Option
Use the
Primary Network
option to configure a variety of wireless security settings.
Label
Description
Network Name
Displays the name of the wireless network (SSID) broadcast
by the access point.
Security Mode
Displays the encryption method used.
Mode
Displays the mode of the wireless access point: Possible
modes are:
Master – Communicates with associated wireless cards
that are in managed mode. Appears as a normal access
point with an SSID and channel. Network
communications, such as authentication, conflict, and
duplicate packets are managed by the wireless card.
Managed – Communicates with an associated master,
not directly with another managed AP. Wireless cards
connect to the master network and change their channel
to match. The master must accept the credentials of the
managed network for it to be associated.
Ad-hoc – Communicates directly with another wireless
network. Network cards must be in range and use the
same name and channel.
Monitor – Communicates in observation mode and does
not transmit. Can be used for troubleshooting wireless
links or checking bandwidth usage in the area.
PHY Mode
Displays the physical transceivers (PHY) layer method used.
RSSI
Displays the received signal strength (RSSI) of the wireless
access points in range of the device. Lower negative numbers
(for example, -1 to -65) indicate the access point is closer.
Greater negative numbers (for example, -66 to -95) indicate
the access point is farther away.
Channel
Displays the channel on which the wireless cable modem is
operating.
BSSID
Displays the MAC address for the nearby wireless access
points.
