Wireless Settings

Selecting Wireless Settings in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates the “Wireless Settings” screen.

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 802.11b 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 factory default value is set to 1.)
