User Manual F5D7230-4 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction . . 94 INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Cable/DSL Gateway Router (the Router). [. . . ] If you make a change to the SSID, your wireless-equipped computers may also need to be reconfigured to connect to your new network name. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on making this change. 42 43 USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE Using the Wireless Mode Switch Your Router can operate in two different wireless modes, "54g-Auto" and "54gOnly". In 54g-Auto mode, the Router will be compatible with 802. 11b and 54g wireless clients simultaneously. This mode is the factory default and ensures full compatibility with all Wi-Fi-compatible devices. Set the Router to 54g-Auto mode if you have a mix of 802. 11b and 54g clients in your network. This mode can be useful only if you do not have any 802. 11b clients that need access to the network. To switch modes, select the desired mode from the drop-down box next to "Wireless Mode" then click "Apply Changes". USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE Changing the Wireless Channel There are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In a small number of other countries, there are other channel requirements. Your Router is configured to operate on the proper channels for the country you reside in. If there are other wireless networks operating in your area, your network should be set to operate on a channel that is different than the other wireless networks. For best performance, use a channel that is at least five channels away from the other wireless network. For instance, if another network is operating on channel 11, then set your network to channel 6 or below. The change is immediate. 44 45 USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE Using the Broadcast SSID Feature Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. For security, you can choose not to broadcast your network's SSID. Doing so will keep your network name hidden from computers that are scanning for the presence of wireless networks. To turn off the broadcast of the SSID, remove the check mark from the box next to "Broadcast SSID", and then click "Apply Changes". Each computer now needs to be set to connect to your specific SSID; an SSID of "ANY" will no longer be accepted. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on making this change. Changing the Wireless Encryption Settings Clicking on the "Encryption" link in the "Wireless" tab will take you to the Encryption settings screen. To make setting up your network for the first time easy, the Router ships with encryption turned off. Turning on encryption will require you to set each of your wireless-equipped computers with the same encryption settings that you make in the Router. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on making this change. [. . . ] Cet appareil numérique de la classe B conforme á la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
