ESSID (3):

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

alphanumerical characters here, maximum 32

characters. ESSID is used to identify your own

wireless router from others when there are other

wireless 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’, available channel numbers are

1 to 13 for European countries, 1 to 11 for USA. You

can choose any channel number you want to use,

and almost all wireless clients can locate the

channel number you use, as some wireless clients

support manual channel number selecting, and this

would help in certain scenarios when there is some

radio communication problems.

Associated Clients (5): Click ‘Show Active Clients’ button, then an

“Active Wireless Client Table” will pop up. You can

see the status of all active wireless stations that are
