The wireless hyperlink under the basic settings tab is used to configure basic wireless settings as shown
in the figure below:
• The Enable Wireless Radio checkbox can be used to enable/disable the wireless radio.
• Wireless Network Name field is used to set the SSID of the AP through which the AP is identified at
the client end. In factory settings “default” is the SSID.
• Visibility Status makes the wireless network visible/invisible to clients. This could be used as a
security tool to avoid unwanted users to connect to the AP.
• Auto Channel Select is a feature that chooses the best channel available in terms of interference
and signal strength level. It is also known as DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection).
• Region & Domain is used to setup the region and domain for this device. This feature is used for
