Configuring the Router for Roaming Clients

The channel and SSID options let you specify common radio channel and SSID to be used by the Wireless Router and all of its wireless clients. Be sure that you configure all of the clients to the same value. For security purposes, you should change the default SSID immediately.

Wireless NetworkName (SSID)—The SSID is the name of your wireless network and must be the same on the Wireless Router and all of its wireless cliens.
Broadcast Wireless Network Name—Enable or disable the broadcasting of the SSID. If SSID broadcasting is disable, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the wireless network discovery features of some products, such as Windows XP.
Wireless Mode—Select 11g only, 11b only, or 11b/g Mixed mode.
Wi-Fi Channel Number—The Wireless Router selects channel 6 automatically. You can select a radio channel manually by changing this option.
Extend Range—Extends the wireless range of the router by processing weaker signals through eXtended Range (XR) Technology from Atheros. This option extends the range for those wireless clients that also support XR technology.
