Wireless Basic Connection Settings, Access Control, Wireless Security

In this section you can configure the wireless settings of the router such as the SSID (name of the network) and Broadcast Channel.

SSID:This is the public name of your wireless network. It is preset to "Tenda_XXXXXX" (where "XXXXXX" represents the last six characters in device MAC address.) by default. Please change it for better security. Note that this field should not be left blank.

SSID Broadcast:This option allows you to have your network names (SSIDs) publicly broadcast or if you choose to disable it, the SSID will be hidden.

Channel:Select from 1~11 channels or AutoSelect. The best selection is a channel that is the least used by neighboring networks.

Extension Channel:This is used to ensure N speeds for 802.11n devices on the network.
