Example of a Wireless Network
The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B are 
called wireless clients. The wireless clients use the access point (AP) to interact with other devices 
(such as the printer) or with the Internet. Your NBG-417N is the AP.
7.2  What You Can Do
• Use  the  General screen (
) to enable the Wireless LAN, enter the SSID 
and select the wireless security mode.
• Use  the  MAC Filter screen (
) to allow or deny wireless stations  based on 
their MAC addresses from connecting to the NBG-417N.
• Use  the  Advanced screen (
) to allow intra-BSS networking and set the  
RTS/CTS Threshold.
