ESSID Sets a unique network name for the SBG940 WLAN to distinguish between multiple WLANs in
the vicinity. If you select Disable ESSID Broadcast on the
Wireless > SECURITY — advanced
Page , all clients on the WLAN must have the same ESSID (network name) as the SBG940. It
can be any alphanumeric, case-sensitive string up to 32 characters. The default is “Motorola.”
We strongly recommend not using the default. Never provide the ESSID to anyone who is not
authorized to use your WLAN.
Channel Sets the wireless radio channel. You can change the channel if you encounter interference on
the default channel. The default is 1 (one), except in countries where the first channel
permitted for wireless operation is not one.
