Options on this page allow you to control security features that can protect your privacy. Remember that all devices connected to the wireless network must share the same security settings.

SSID: (Default at&t) The Service Set Identifier is the name of your wireless local area network. The factory default name is "at&t". For privacy, you should change this to a unique name. If you leave the default name, users of other wireless networks nearby may have access to your computers or your Internet access (if they are using the same SSID). Remember that all computers on your network must share the same SSID.

Channel: (Default 6) The router uses radio signals to communicate with other devices on the network. You can change the frequency by selecting a different channel. Remember that all computers on your network must use the same channel. Devices using AT&T Plug&Sharewireless adapters will auto- matically detect the channel used by the router and change to it.

You may have to change the channel if you are experiencing problems such as intermittent connec- tion and disconnection. You can perform a site survey on your wireless adapter to find out which channels are being used by other wireless networks nearby. If other networks use the same channel (or an adjacent one), change yours to one as far away as possible from the others in use. (For example, if other networks use channels 6, 9 and 11, try changing yours to channel 1.)
