Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Router. The further

Channel and SSID

From the Initial Setup page, click on “Channel and SSID”, under Wireless,
in the right side of the screen, to access the Channel and SSID page.

Channel

The 802.11b wireless standard supports up to 14 channels. The number of
available channels are limited to local regulations which determine which
channels are available. FCC/IC: Channels 1-11. ETSI: Channels 1-13,
France: Channels 10-13, Spain: Channels 10-11, MKK: Channels 1-14.
The default channel is 11. To change the channel, click the DOWN arrow
next to the channel field and select the channel number. When finished
making changes, click “Enter” for the changes to take effect.

SSID

The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is like a name for the wireless network
and is sometimes called the “Network Name”. The wireless-equipped
computers in the wireless network should be set to the same SSID to gain
access to the network. The default setting is “WLAN” (Wireless Local Area
Network (WLAN). To change the SSID, simply click in the SSID field and
enter a new SSID.
When finished making
changes, click “Enter”
for the changes to
take effect.
