1. 2.4G Wi-Fi¶
GL-MV1000W only has 2.4G Wi-Fi.
In WIRELESS, you can check the current status and change the settings of the wireless network created by the router. The wireless network can be turned on or off by switching the ON/OFF button.
Wi-Fi Name (SSID): The name of the Wi-Fi.
Wireless Security: Wireless encryption method.
Wi-Fi Key: The password of the Wi-Fi, which must be at least 6 characters. We suggest you to change it when you receive the router.
SSID Visibility: Whether to hide the SSID or not.

Bandwidth: You could select 20/40MHz or 40MHz or 20MHz.
Channel: The router will not choose the best channel itself. You need to choose a channel manually. If your router is used as a Wi-Fi repeater, the channel will be fixed according to the connected wireless network.
Click Modify to change the settings of the wireless network.
Click Channel Optimization will automatically select the most suitable channel according to the current environment.
2. Dongle¶
