enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The default SSID is NETGEAR.
Note: The SSID is case sensitive; NETGEAR is not the same as nETgear. Also, the SSID of
any wireless adapters must match the SSID you configure in the 54 Mbps Wall-Plugged
Wireless Range Extender WGX102. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless
connection to the WGX102.
4. Select Enable to broadcast the SSID.
5. Set the Region. Select the region in which the wireless interface will operate.
6. Set the Channel. The default channel is 11.
This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be necessary to
change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby
wireless router or access point. Select a channel that is not being used by any other wireless
networks within several hundred feet of your range extender. For more information on the
wireless channel frequencies please refer to “Wireless Channels” on page D-7.
7. For initial configuration and test, leave the Wireless Card Access List set to “Everyone” and
the Encryption Strength set to “Disable.”
