Actiontec DSL Gateway User Manual

To activate the wireless “radio” of the Gateway, click in the circle next to “On.” To turn it off, 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 alphanumeric 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 802.11b 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 1-11. (The default value is set to 9.)

Security

There are four wireless security options: Off, WEP, WEP+802.1x, and WPA. The latter three options are different types of wireless security.

Off

Selecting Off disables wireless security. Selecting this option allows any computer with wireless capability and the correct ESSID value to join the wireless network.
