ESSID This is the name of broadband router. You can
type any alphanumerical characters here,
maximum 32 characters. ESSID is used to
identify your own broadband router from
others when there are other broadband
routers in the same area. Default SSID is
‘default’, it’s recommended to change default
ESSID value to the one which is meaningful to
you, like myhome, office_room1, etc.
Channel Number Please select a channel from the dropdown list
of ‘Channel Number’, available channel
numbers are 1 to 13. You can choose any
channel number you want to use, and almost
all wireless clients can locate the channel
you’re using automatically without any
problem. However, it’s still useful to
remember the channel number you use, some
wireless client supports manual channel
number select, and this would help in certain
scenario when there is some radio
communication problem.
Associated Clients Click ‘Show Active Clients’ button to show
the list of all connected wireless clients. You
can click ‘Refresh’ in new window to get
latest list again, or click ‘Close’ to close the
window.
Please note that if you have pop‐up blocker
installed, you may have to disable it or tell
your pop‐up blocker to allow the popup
window, or you will not be able to see the
wireless client list window.
TIPS: You can try to change channel number to another one if you think the data transfer
rate is too slow, or keep having problem while transferring the file over wireless network.
There could be some other broadband routers using the same channel, which will
disturb the radio communication between wireless client and the broadband router.
