Advanced Wireless Help

Warning: The Wireless Router is already configured with the optimum settings. Do not alter these settings unless directed by NETGEAR support. Incorrect settings may disable the Wireless Router unexpectedly.


Wireless Router Settings

Enable Wireless Router Radio

The Wireless Access Point Router of this router can be enabled or disabled to allow wireless access. The wireless icon on the front of the router will also display the current status of the Wireless Access Point to let you know if it is disabled or enabled. If Enabled, wireless stations will be able to access the Internet. If Disabled, wireless stations will not be able to access the Internet.

Enable SSID Broadcast

If Enabled, the Wireless RouterSSID will broadcast its name (SSID) to all Wireless Stations. Stations which have no SSID (or a "null" value) can then adopt the correct SSID for connections to this Access Point.

Fragmentation Threshold, CTS/RTS Threshold, Preamble Mode

These settings are reserved for wireless testing and advanced configuration only. Do not change these settings.


108Mbps Settings

Disable Advanced 108Mbps Features

If Disabled, the Wireless Router will disable data compression, packet bursting and large frame support.

Enable eXtended Range

Enable eXtended Range - eXtended Range (XR) Technology provides significantly longer range than basic 802.11 by maintaining connectivity when signals are made faint when passing through dense walls, floors, or other barriers. XR products require no additional configuration by end-users and are fully interoperable with standard 802.11 technologies.


Wireless Card Access List

By default, any wireless PC that is configured with the correct SSID will be allowed access to your wireless network. For increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network to only allow specific PCs based on their MAC addresses. From the Wireless Settings menu, click the Setup Access List button to display the Wireless Access List menu.
