SSID

This is the name of the wireless network. You can type any

 

alphanumerical characters here, maximum 32 characters. SSID is used

 

to identify your own wireless router from others when there are multiple

 

wireless routers in the same area. The default SSID is ‘airlink101’; it’s

 

recommended to change it to a name that you can identify, such as

 

myhome, office_room1, etc.

Channel Number

Select a channel from the dropdown list of ‘Channel Number’ for

 

broadcasting. You can choose any channel number you want to use, and

 

almost all wireless clients can locate the channel you’re using

 

automatically without any problem. However, it’s still useful to remember

 

the channel number you use, some wireless client supports manual

 

channel number selecting, and this would help in certain scenario when

 

there is some radio communication problem.

Associated Clients

Click “Show Active Clients” button, then an “Active Wireless Client Table”

 

will pop up. You can see the status of all active wireless stations that are

 

connecting to the access point.

Step 5 Set up Wireless Security for your router.

WPA2(Mixed) is the most secured encryption mode for general users. WEP is the most common encryption but the least secured. It is recommended to use WPA2(Mixed) for your wireless security if all wireless devices on your network support WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.
