Channel

The 802.11b wireless standard supports up to 14 channels. The number of available channels are limited to local regulations which determine which channels are available. FCC/IC: Channels 1-11. ETSI: Channels 1-13, France: Channels 10-13, Spain: Channels 10-11, MKK: Channels 1-14. The default channel is 11. To change the channel, click the DOWN arrow next to the channel field and select the channel number. When finished making changes, click “Enter” for the changes to take effect.

SSID

The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is like a name for the wireless network and is sometimes called the “Network Name”. The wireless-equipped computers in the wireless network should be set to the same SSID to gain access to the network. The default setting is “WLAN” (Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). To change the SSID, simply click in the SSID field and enter a new SSID.

When finished making changes, click “Enter” for the changes to take effect.
