Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a value of up to
32 alphanumeric characters. In a setting where there is more than one wireless network,
different wireless network names provide a means for separating the traffic. Any device you
want to participate in a particular wireless network will need to use this SSID for that network.
The WGT634U default SSID is NETGEAR.

Region. This field identifies the region where the WGT634U can be used. It may not be legal
to operate the wireless features of the wireless router in a region other than one of those
identified in this field.

Mode. This field determines which data communications protocol will be used. You can select
“g and b”, “b only,” “g only”, or “108 Mbps Turbo g only”. “g only” dedicates the WGT634U
to communicating with the higher bandwidth 802.11g wireless devices exclusively. The “g and
b” mode provides backward compatibility with the slower 802.11b wireless devices while still
enabling 802.11g communications. The 108 Mbps Turbo mode only works with other 802.11g
turbo devices that support this turbo mode.

Channel. This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be
necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another
nearby access point. For more information on the wireless channel frequencies please refer to

Understanding WEP Authentication and Encryption
Restricting wireless access to your network prevents intruders from connecting to your network.
However, the wireless data transmissions are still vulnerable to snooping. Using the WEP data
encryption settings described below will prevent a determined intruder from eavesdropping on
your wireless data communications. Also, if you are using the Internet for such activities as
purchases or banking, those Internet sites use another level of highly secure encryption called SSL.
You can tell if a Web site is using SSL because the Web address begins with HTTPS rather than
HTTP.
