any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure in the 54 Mbps Wireless
Router WGR614 v5. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection to the
WGR614 v5.

wireless router or access point. Select a channel that is not being used by any other wireless
networks within several hundred feet of your firewall. For more information on the wireless
channel frequencies please refer to “Wireless Channels” on page D-2.
