The following table describes the general wireless LAN labels in this screen.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
ESSID The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the Service Set with which a
wireless station is associated. Wireless clients 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.
When a wireless client scans for an AP to associate with, this is the name
that is broadcast and seen in the wireless client utility.
Channel 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.
If you are having problems with wireless interference, changing the
channel may help. Try to use a channel that is as many channels away
from any channels used by neighboring APs as possible.
802.11 Mode Select 802.11n + 802.11g + 802.11b to allow both IEEE802.11b,
IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with
the NWA1300-NJ. The transmission rate of your NWA1300-NJ might be
reduced.
Select 802.11n + 802.11g to allow either IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11n
compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA1300-NJ.
Select 802.11g + 802.11b to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g
compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA1300-NJ. The
NWA1300-NJ adjusts the transmission rate automatically according to the
wireless standard supported by the wireless devices.
Select 802.11n Only to only allow IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices
to associate with the NWA1300-NJ.
Select 802.11g Only to only allow IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices
to associate with the NWA1300-NJ.
Select 802.11b Only to only allow IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices
to associate with the NWA1300-NJ.
Channel
Width
Select whether the NWA1300-NJ uses a wireless channel width of 20 or 40
MHz. A standard 20 MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps
whereas a 40 MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds
of up to 300 Mbps. Because not all devices support 40 MHz channels,
select Auto 20/40 MHz to allow the NWA1300-NJ to adjust the channel
bandwidth automatically.
Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless
devices in your neighborhood.
Transmit
Power
Set the output power of the NWA1300-NJ in this field. If there is a high
density of APs in an area, decrease the output power of the NWA1300-NJ
to reduce interference with other APs. Select one of the following 100%,
50% or 25%.
