Channel Width 
Some wireless network modes support wireless channel widths besides 
the standard 20 MHz. 802.11g & 802.11n offer the option to use 40 MHz 
channels for enhanced throughput. Both the AP and the client must 
support 40 MHz channels to use them. 
 
Wireless Channel (AP only) 
Set the desired wireless channel, or let the router choose a free 
channel automatically. If the router is in classic WDS (MAC address 
based) mode, then the wireless channel must be selected manually. 
  
Wireless Network Name (SSID) 
The name of the wireless network the radio transmits or connects to 
(depending on the wireless mode) 
 
Wireless SSID Broadcast (AP only) 
The name of the wireless network (SSID) may be broadcasted or not. Not 
broadcasting does not prevent the network from being detected by a 
wireless network sniffer; it just hides the name. 
  
Advanced Settings 
Check this box to get access to advanced wireless settings. These 
advanced parameters should be only modified by experienced users.

Security 

Because wireless data packets can easily be sniffed, wireless 
connections require a greater level of security to ensure that data 
cannot be read by unauthorized users.
