Configuring the 802.11b/g and IP Settings 2-13
Channel
This option selects the channel on which your network devices
communicate. All devices must be on the same channel to communicate.
Other radio devices such as Bluetooth® wireless devices, microwave
ovens, or 2.4-gigahertz cordless phones may operate on the same
channel as your network. Channels 1-11 are available. Use the channel
for Ad-Hoc mode. In infrastructure mode, the channel is negotiated with
the access point and this setting is ignored.
Note: Make sure all network devices are set to the same channel.
From the Main Menu: Select Setup, Network, Wireless. Then follow
these steps.
