This screen configures the basic parameters of your wireless interface:
a.
ESSID: All wireless-connected devices on your network must be configured with the
same ESSID in order to communicate with each other. The default is Wireless (note the
capitalization).
For network security, you should change the ESSID to a different value, up to 32
characters. The change will take effect when you finish the Wizard Setup. At that time you
must change the ESSID setting of all wireless-connected devices on your network to
match this setting.
b.
Channel: The default wireless Channel is 1. It should not be necessary to change the
wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access
point.
