Show Advanced Settings
The Advanced Settings section of the Wi-Fi page displays current advanced setting options,
including:
•
Band
— allows selection of the desired Band option. The 2.4 GHz is widely supported.
Do not
select the 5 GHz option unless you know it is supported by your Wi-Fi devices.
•
Bandwidth
— only available if the Band setting is set to 5 GHz. The wideband (40 MHz)
option provides potentially greater throughput, but may cause interference with other
wireless devices.
•
Channel
— should be left on
Automatic
unless you need to choose a particular channel for
your environment.
•
802.11 mode
— changes the Wi-Fi mode, if required. If all of your connected devices support
802.11n, selecting the option “802.11n only” will provide the best performance. In other
cases, it is recommended that you leave this setting at its default value.
•
Security
— allows selection of the desired Wi-Fi security option. WPA2 is the latest and most
secure method, and should be used if possible.
None
allows other people to monitor your
Wi-Fi traffic and use your data plan to access the Internet. If at all possible, using None
should be avoided. Using
WPA2
is strongly recommended, as this is the most secure method
supported.
•
Display Wi-Fi name
— turn on to display the Wi-Fi name on the device display.
•
Display Wi-Fi password
— turn on to display the password on the device display.
•
Broadcast Wi-Fi name
— turn on to display this Wi-Fi network in the list of available Wi-Fi
networks on your connected devices. Turn off to make this network invisible.
•
Wi-Fi privacy separation
— turn on to isolate each connected device from all other
connected devices. This provides additional security if some connected devices are unknown
or not completely trusted. For normal operation, this should be turned off.
•
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)
— when on, assists in throughput. If using 802.11n, it must be
turned on.
•
WPS
— allows Wi-Fi devices to connect to a Wi-Fi network without having to manually enter
the network key. If turned on in the Web User Interface, compatible Wi-Fi devices can be
connected to the 4G LTE Broadband Router with Voice using the WPS option on the
router
display.
