Step 3: Configuring IEEE 802.11 Settings

Fig. 9. IEEE 802.11g communication settings.

Go to the IEEE 802.11, Communication section in the Web-based
Management user interface to configure IEEE 802.11g-related communication
settings, including Channel number and Network name (SSID).

The number of available RF channels depends on local regulations.

NOTE: The Regulatory domain setting of the SMC2586W-G
sold in the U.S. and Canada is not configurable. It’s set to FCC
by default. As a result, only channels from 1 to 11 are available.

NOTE: For two SMC2586W-Gs or one wireless client computer
and one SMC2586W-G to establish a wireless link, both devices
must be configured with the same channel number and SSID.

If the SMC2586W-G was configured to be in AP or Bridge Master mode, and
you want to use WDS to establish inter-SMC2586W-G wireless links, config-
ure the WDS settings.
