Channel and SSID
Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In the
United States, there are 11 channels. In the United Kingdom and most of
Europe, there are 13 channels. In a small number of other countries, there
are other channel requirements. Your Router is configured to operate on
the proper channels for the country you reside in. The channel can be
changed if needed. If there are other wireless networks operating in your
area, your network should be set to operate on a channel that is different
than the other wireless networks. For best performance, use a channel
that is at least five channels away from the other wireless network. For
instance, if another network is operating on channel 11, then set your
network to channel 6 or below. To change the channel, select the channel
from the drop-down list. Click “Apply Changes”. The change is immediate.
Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID)
To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID (Service
Set Identifier) is used. You can change this to anything you want to
or you can leave it unchanged. If there are other wireless networks
operating in your area, you will want to make sure that your SSID is
unique (does not match that of another wireless network in the area).
