ESSID Sets a unique network name for the SBG900 wireless LAN to distinguish between multiple
wireless LANs in the vicinity.
If you check Disable ESSID Broadcast on the Wireless >
SECURITY — advanced Page , all clients on the wireless LAN must have the same ESSID
(network name) as the SBG900. 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 wireless LAN.
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.
