Wireless LAN

Click the check box to activate wireless LAN.

Name(SSID)

(Service Set IDentity) The SSID identifies the Service Set with which a wireless station is 
associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID. 
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters) for the wireless LAN. 

Hide SSID

Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station cannot 
obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.

Channel 
Selection

Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region. 

Select a channel from the drop-down list box. The options vary depending on the frequency 
band and the country you are in.

Refer to the 

 chapter for more information on channels. This option is only 

available if Auto Channel Selection is disabled.

Auto Channel 
Selection

Select this option for the NBG-418N to automatically choose the channel with the least 
interference. Deselect this option if you wish to manually select the channel using the 
Channel Selection field.

Operating 
Channel 

This displays the channel the NBG-418N is currently using.

Channel Width

Select whether the NBG-418N uses a wireless channel width of 20MHz, 40MHz or Auto 
20/40MHz. A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 
40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps. Because 
not all devices support 40MHz channels, select Auto 20/40MHz to allow the NBG-418N to 
adjust the channel bandwidth automatically.

Security

Use this section to configure the wireless security between the NBG-418N and its wireless 
clients.

Security Mode

Select Static WEP, WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK to add security on this wireless network. The 
wireless clients which want to associate to this network must have same wireless security 
settings as this device. After you select to use a security, additional options appears in this 
screen. See 

 and 

 sections. Or you can select No Security to allow any client to 

associate this network without authentication.
