Hide SSID
Select this option to keep your AP’s SSID private. Only users who explicitly enter
the SSID name in their connection window while connecting will be able to “see” it.
While effective at deterring the casual user from inadvertantly connecting to your
AP, it is the weakest of all wireless security. Anyone with a basic sniffer program
will be able to detect the channel.

Mode
Select the wireless networking protocol used by your AP. Supported protocols are:
•
•
A - Supports an operational frequency of 5 GHz.
•
B - Supports an operational frequency of 2.41 GHz and dynamically shifts up
to 11 Mbps network speed.

B/G/N - Supports an operational frequency of 2.4 GHz, dynamically shifts up to
300 Mbps network speed, and supports significantly boosted throughput.

dynamically shifts up to 300 Mbps network speed, and supports significantly
boosted throughput.
When selecting a wireless mode, try to choose one that matches the mode of all
the connecting computers. For example, if you know that five different computers
will be connecting to your AP and they all are using the A protocol, set your AP to
broadcast in the same mode to reduce the likelihood of transmission interference.
If you are not certain which mode to use, select the A/B/G/N mode to ensure
maximum compatibility with all potential incoming connections.
