◆ | Channel |
|
| Wireless channel used by the Gigaset Router to communicate with other wireless | |
| network components. | |
|
|
|
|
| The available channel settings are governed by your country's |
| i | regulations. They define the number of available channels. The |
| default setting is determined by the country setting (see page 49). | |
|
| You should not change this setting unless you have a good reason to |
|
| do so. |

◆SSID visible
If the option has been activated, the Gigaset Router includes the SSID in all data transmissions. In this case eavesdroppers could use the SSID to gain access to your network.
If the option is deactivated, wireless network components that want to connect to the local network must know the SSID. This offers a certain degree of protection against unauthorised access.
