Ad Hoc). This option is only required when this
router is working in ‘Client’ mode.

Input the SSID (Service Set IDentifier) of this
access point (or the SSID of the access point you
wish to connect when in ‘Client’ mode).
You can input up to 32 alphanumerical characters
as SSID. SSID is used to identify this wireless

wireless devices who wish to communicate with
each other must use the same channel number.
It’s highly recommended to select a channel
number which is not taken by other access points,
or the wireless network performance will become
poor. To know which channels are taken by other
access points, you can use ‘Site Survey’ function
(
See chapter 2-7-5)
to discover which channel
numbers were taken already.
