Basic Wireless Settings (See Figure 6-11.)

This screen allows you to choose your wireless network mode and wireless security.

Wireless Network

Wireless Network Mode. If you have Wireless-G and 802.11b devices in your network, then keep the default setting, Mixed. If you have only Wireless-G devices, select G-Only. If you want to disable wireless networking, select Disable.

Wireless Network Name. Enter the Wireless Network Name (SSID) into the field. The SSID is the network name shared among all devices in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters, which may be any keyboard character. For added security, Linksys recommends that you change the default SSID (linksys) to a unique name of your choice.

Wireless Channel. Select the appropriate channel from the list provided to correspond with your network settings, between 1 and 13 (in most of Europe and between 1 and 11 in North America and South America). All devices in your wireless network must use the same channel in order to function correctly.
