Basic Setup — Wireless AP

The Wireless Gateway's “wireless AP” is the access point — the radio-frequency transmitting and receiving circuitry — through which wireless devices will communicate with your LAN's wired devices and the Internet. To begin setting up the wireless AP, click Wireless AP in the command panel at the left edge of your browser window (if the command does not appear there, click Basic Setup at the top of the window first).

ESS-ID

“ESS-ID” (or “ESSID”) stands for Extended Service Set ID. This is an identifier for the network segment made up of the Wireless Gateway's wireless AP and the wireless stations that will communicate with it. Click in the ESS-IDbox and type any string up to 32 characters long (spaces, symbols, and punctuation are not allowed). The same string must be set as the ESS -ID on each wireless station that will use the Wireless Gateway as an access point.

Wireless Channel

A “channel” is a range of frequencies to be used in communication between an AP and wireless stations. The number of channels available on the Wireless Gateway depends on the regulatory region in which the unit was sold.
