Wireless
To activate the wireless radio, click in the circle next to On. To turn off the wireless
radio, click in the circle next to Off.
ESSID
ESSID is the network name assigned to the wireless network. The factory default
setting is “ ACTIONTEC .” Although Actiontec recommends keeping the default
value intact, the ESSID value can be modified, using any combination of alphanu-
meric characters (i.e., A-Z , a-z, 0-9 ). All wireless-capable computers included on
the Gateway’s wireless network must have this same ESSID value. (For the Actiontec
802.11 b Wireless PC Card, the ESSID value must be the same as the SSID value.)
Channel
Channel assigns the frequency band at which the Gateway communicates. In the
United States, use channels
1-1 1. (The factory default value is set to 1 .)
