Wireless Settings

Selecting Wireless Settings in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” 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 Router’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 Router communicates. The fac-

tory default value is set to channel 9.
