 NETGEAR Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1310
Set up your wireless computers with the same SSID and wireless security settings as 
your router. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP address by 
DHCP from the router. If there is interference, adjust the channel.
Settings
Description
Wireless 
Network
Enable SSID 
Broadcast
This setting allows the wireless modem router to broadcast its SSID 
so wireless stations can see this wireless name (SSID) in their 
scanned network lists. This check box is selected by default. To turn 
off the SSID broadcast, clear the Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID) 
check box.
Enable Wireless 
Isolation
When this check box is selected, wireless clients (computers or 
wireless devices) that join the network can use the Internet, but 
cannot access each other or access Ethernet devices on the network.
Name (SSID)
The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a 
32-character (maximum) name in this field. This field is 
case-sensitive. 
When there is more than one wireless network, SSIDs provide a 
means for separating the traffic. To join a network, a wireless 
computer or device has to use the SSID.
Region
The location where the router is used.
Channel
The wireless channel used by the gateway. The default is Auto.
Do not change the channel unless you experience interference 
(shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this happens, 
you might need to try different channels to see which works best. 
Mode
The default is Up to 145 Mbps.
Security Options
None
You can use this setting to establish wireless connectivity before 
implementing wireless security. NETGEAR strongly recommends that 
you implement wireless security.

select 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. See
