Wireless Settings menu 18 DSL-G624M Wireless 108G MIMO ADSL2/2+ Router User's Guide Configure Basic Wireless Settings Follow the instructions below to change basic wireless settings. To disable the Wireless Radio: click Disabled beside the Wireless Radio field and click the Apply button. This will immediately disable the wireless access point, it is not necessary to restart the access point to make this change. If the Wireless Radio has been disabled: click the Enabled beside the Wireless Radio field and click the Apply button. It is not necessary to restart the access point unless you have also changed the channel or SSID. Remember that any wireless device using the access point must have the same SSID and use the same wireless channel number. To disable SSID sharing (SSID broadcast), click to select Enabled beside the SSID Hidden field. A hidden SSID makes it more difficult for wireless clients to join or leave the SSID as they must have the identical SSID manually entered to be able to join your wireless LAN. The Channel drop-down menu may be changed to channels that are available in your region 1-13 in Europe. Channels available for wireless LAN communication are subject to regional and national regulation. If you find it is already being used in your neighborhood we would suggest either channel 1 or 13 as the are the next non-overlapping channels. Note in Super G Mode you will not be able to select a channel, the 2XR MIMO technology will select the best channel. Super G mode ­ please choose the wireless mode you wish to transmit and receive at. SuperG With Dynamic Turbo ­ Super G, D-Link 108G* High performance mode, 2XR functions are enabled. The transmitter will increase the signal if other devices are not broadcasting a same time on the same channel. Use this mode in areas where there is a higher Wireless network density to maintain maximum performance. Capable of Packet Bursting, FastFrames, Compression, and Dynamic Turbo. Dynamic Turbo mode is only enabled when all nodes on the wireless network is Super G with Dynamic Turbo enabled. SuperG With Static Turbo ­ Super G, D-Link 108G* High performance MIMO mode, all 2XR functions are enabled. The transmitter will send a signal over the frequencies for wireless networks to achieve maximum performance for your network. Use this mode only in areas where there is a low Wireless network density to achieve optimum performance. [. . . ] IP includes a system by which a unique number can be assigned to each of the millions of networks and each of the computers on those networks. To make IP addresses easy to understand, the originators of IP adopted a system of representation called "dotted decimal" or "dotted quad" notation. Below are examples of IP addresses written in this format: 201. 202. 203. 204 189. 21. 241. 56 125. 87. 0. 1 Each of the four values in an IP address is the ordinary decimal (base 10) representation of a value that a computer can handle using eight "bits" (binary digits -- 1s and 0s). Zeros are often used as placeholders in dotted decimal notation; 189. 21. 241. 56 can therefore also appear as 189. 021. 241. 056. [. . . ]
