Enable Wireless is set to Yes by default. When Enable Wireless is disabled (No), the Router will not provide or broadcast any wireless LAN services.

SSID (Wireless ID): The SSID is preset to a number that is unique to your unit. You can either leave it as is, or change it by entering a freeform name of up to 32 characters, for example “Ed’s Wireless LAN”. On client PCs’ software, this might also be called the Network Name. The SSID is used to identify this particular wireless LAN. Depending on their operating system or client wireless card, users must either:

select from a list of available wireless LANs that appear in a scanned list on their client

or, if you are in Closed System Mode (see “Closed System” on page 7-3), enter this name on their cli- ents in order to join this wireless LAN.
