This information can be of help when deciding which channel to use for the
Ericsson W25 WLAN. Click Back to return to the Wireless LAN page
where you can select a desired channel.
4.6.6 Network Name (SSID) All devices on the WLAN share a common network name or SSID (Service
Set IDentifier). This name is required to establish connection between the
Ericsson W25 and other wireless device(s) and to distinguish the WLAN
from any other(s) that may be in use nearby.
Only clients configured with the same network name (SSID) as the one set
on the Ericsson W25 can obtain access to it. It is recommended to change
the preconfigured network name “FWT” to something else that makes it
harder for unauthorized persons to access your wireless network.
