identify your own broadband router from

others when there are other broadband

routers in the same area. Default SSID is

‘default’, it’s recommended to change default

ESSID value to the one which is meaningful to

you, like myhome, office_room1, etc.

Channel Number

Please select a channel from the dropdown list

of ‘Channel Number’, available channel

numbers are 1 to 13. 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 select,

and this would help in certain scenario when

there is some radio communication problem.

the list of all connected wireless clients. You

wireless client list window.

TIPS: You can try to change channel number to another one if you think the data transfer rate is

too slow, or keep having problem while transferring the file over wireless network. There could

be some other broadband routers using the same channel, which will disturb the radio

communication between wireless client and the broadband router.
