Netgear AC1600 사용자 매뉴얼

You can use this screen to view or change the wireless network settings and the security 
option.

Enable SSID Broadcast. This feature allows the 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 this check box, and click Apply.

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. The default SSID is randomly 
generated, and NETGEAR strongly recommends that you do not change this setting.

Region. The location where the router is used. Select from the countries in the list. In the 
United States, the region is fixed to United States and is not changeable.

Channel. The wireless channel the router uses. For 2.4 GHz, select a value from 1 through 
13. (For products in the North America market, only Channels 1 through 11 can be operated.) 
Do not change the channel unless you experience interference (shown by lost connections or 
slow data transfers). If this happens, experiment with different channels to see which is the 
best. 

When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio 
frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between 
adjacent access points is 4 channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).

Mode. For 2.4 GHz, Up to 145 Mbps is the default setting, which allows 802.11n and 802.11g 
wireless devices to join the network. The other settings are Up to 54 Mbps, and Up to 300 
Mbps.

At 5GHz, Up to 1300 Mbps is the default setting, which allows 802.11ac, 802.11a wireless 

devices to join the network. The other settings are Up to 289 Mbps and 600 Mbps.

Security Options. The router comes with unique preset wireless security. These settings are 
on the product label. NETGEAR recommends that you use preset security so that you 
can refer to the label if you forget the WiFi password. However, you can change the 
security option and passphrase. 

A security option is the type of security protocol applied to your wireless network. The 

security protocol in force encrypts data transmissions and ensures that only trusted devices 
receive authorization to connect to your network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) has several 
options including pre-shared key (PSK) encryption. 

WPA encryption is built into all hardware that has the Wi-Fi-certified seal. This seal means 
that the Wi-Fi Alliance (

)) authorized the product because it complies with 

the worldwide single standard for high-speed wireless local area networking. 

WPA uses a passphrase for authentication and to generate the initial data encryption keys. 
Then it dynamically varies the encryption key. WPA-PSK uses Temporal Key Integrity 
Protocol (TKIP) data encryption, implements most of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and works 
with all wireless network interface cards, but not all wireless access points.
