SMC Networks SMC8014W-G - Manual (Page 24)

The Wireless Mode can be set to Mixed (default), 11B only, 11B+ only, or 11G only. Also, the
Gateway’s wireless interface can be disabled if not being used.
Channel and SSID
You must specify a common radio channel and SSID (Service Set ID) to be used by the Gateway
and all of your wireless clients. Be sure you configure all of your clients to the same values.
To access the Channel and SSID configuration page, on the Side Navigation bar, click on
[Wireless] link and then click on the [Channel and SSID] link.
SSID: This is the Wireless ID or Service Set ID of your wireless network. This should be set to
the same value as the other wireless devices in your network.
NOTE: The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
Channel: The radio channel through which the Gateway communicates to clients over the
wireless network.
NOTE: If you are not getting good wireless performance try another wireless channel – because
this Gateway operates in the 2.4GHz spectrum – it can be affected by some other products,
such as cordless phones.
Hide SSID: This option will cause the Gateway to not broadcast its SSID. By selecting this
option, wireless clients will not be able to use their Site Survey feature to locate this wireless
network.
