This screen displays a suggested Channel and Service Area Name. It also allows you to change these settings. There are a maximum of 13 channels, the number available to you is dependent on the country you reside in. The Service Area Name default for 3Com products is "3Com". Up to 32 (case sensitive) characters can be entered for the Service Area Name.

3Com strongly recommends that you change the SSID to something other than the default.

For information on improving your Wireless network security see “Wireless Settings” on page 46.

If you are configuring the Gateway from a wireless computer any changes you make to the wireless configuration will result in communication between the Gateway and your computer being lost. This is why 3Com strongly recommends that you configure the Gateway from a wired computer.
