SSID

This is the name of the wireless network. You can type any

alphanumerical characters here, maximum 32 characters. SSID is used

to identify your own wireless router from others when there are multiple

wireless routers in the same area. The default SSID is ‘airlink101’; it’s

recommended to change it to a name that you can identify, such as

myhome, office_room1, etc.

Channel

Number

Select a channel from the dropdown list of ‘Channel Number’ for

broadcasting. You can choose any channel number you want to use, and

almost all wireless clients can locate the channel you’re using

automatically without any problem. However, it’s still useful to remember

the channel number you use, some wireless client supports manual

channel number selecting, and this would help in certain scenario when

there is some radio communication problem.

will pop up. You can see the status of all active wireless stations that are

connecting to the access point.
