Wireless Settings
Click the Enable AP box to allow the router to operate in the wireless environment.
SSID: The SSID identifies members of Service Set.
Accept the default name or change it to something else. If the default SSID is changed, all other devices on the wireless network must use the same SSID.
Channel: What channels are available for use by the access point depends on the local regulatory environment. Remember that all devices communicating with the device must use the same channel (and use the same SSID). Use the drop down menu to select the channel used for your 802.11g wireless LAN.
The wireless channel number is available from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
If network Security is not used, click None, then click Apply.
Important Note: For initial configuration of the Router, make sure that None is selected. It is more important first to make sure that your wireless network is functioning properly.*
