Channel Width
Some wireless network modes support wireless channel widths besides the standard 20 MHz. 802.lig & 802.lin offer the option to use 40 MHz channels for enhanced throughput. Both the AP and the Client must support 40 MHz channels to use them.
Wireless Channel (AP only)
Set the desired wireless channel, or let the router choose a free channel automatically. If the router is in classic WDS (MAC address based) modę, then the wireless channel must be selected manually.
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
The name of the wireless network the radio transmits or connects to (depending on the wireless modę)
Wireless SSID Broadcast (AP only)
The name of the wireless network (SSID) may be broadcasted or not. Not broadcasting does not prevent the network from being detected by a wireless network sniffer; it just hides the name.
