SSID (3):This is the name of wireless router. You can type any alphanumerical characters here, maximum 32 characters. SSID is used to identify your own wireless router from others when there are other wireless routers in the same area. Default SSID is ‘default’, it’s recommended to change default SSID name to the one which is meaningful to you, like my home, office_room1, etc.
Channel Number (4): Please select a channel from the dropdown list of ‘Channel Number’, available channel numbers are 1 to 13 for European countries, 1 to 11 for USA. 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 select, and this would help in certain scenario when there is some radio communication problem.
Associated Clients (5): 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.
