Table 23   Network > Wireless LAN > General

Enable 
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 check box for the NBG-416N to automatically choose the 
channel with the least interference. Deselect this check box if you wish to 
manually select the channel using the Channel Section field.

Operating 
Channel 

This displays the channel the NBG-416N is currently using.

Channel 
Width

Select whether the NBG-416N uses a wireless channel width of 20MHz 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-416N to adjust the 
channel bandwidth automatically.

Security 
Mode

Select 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 

sections. Or you can select No Security to allow any client to associate 
this network without authentication.

Note: If you enable the WPS function, only No Security, WPA-PSK 

and WPA2-PSK are available in this field.

Apply
