Got to Main TG582N Page

The TG582n supports 802.11a, g, and n with a single radio instance on 2.4GHz. However its maximum speed on 802.11n appears to be 65Mbit/s, which isn't much of an improvement over 802.11g.

Disable Wifi (Wireless)

Via HTTP interface - Home Network - WLAN - Configure - untick WLAN Enable, click Apply

You can also press the wifi button on the router to enable/disable the Wifi in the same way. Note that if you have configured multiple SSIDs (as per the next section) then the wifi button on the router only enables/disables one of the SSIDs.

Adding extra SSIDs

The router only has one WiFi radio instance, but it is possible to configure several (up to 5 ?) SSIDs on that radio instance. This can be useful in a number of scenarios:

  • One has a single device which can only do WEP authentication, and one doesn't want to allow WEP for all devices
  • One wishes to provide guest access, but the guests shouldn't have access to one's LAN
  • One wishes to easily switch a WiFi client between two (or more) configurations
