Wireless Settings
Selecting Wireless Settings in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates the
“Wireless Settings” screen. To activate the wireless “radio” of the Gateway, click in
the circle next to “On.” To turn it off, click in the circle next to “Off.”
ESSID
ESSID is the network name assigned to the wireless network. The factory default
setting is “ACTIONTEC.” Although Actiontec recommends keeping the default
value intact, the ESSID value can be modified, using any combination of alphanu-
meric characters (i.e., A-Z, a-z, 0-9). All wireless-capable computers included on
the Gateway’s wireless network must have this same ESSID value. (For the Actiontec
802.11b Wireless PC Card, the ESSID value must be the same as the SSID value.)
Channel
Channel assigns the frequency band at which the Gateway communicates. In the
United States, use channels 1-11. (The factory default value is set to 1.)
