Wireless Access Point

Use this section to define the basic wireless access point settings.

SSID.

The SSID is the network name shared among all points in a wireless

network. The SSID must be identical for all points in the wireless network. It is

case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters (use any of the characters

on the keyboard). Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your wire-

less network. For added security, you should change the default SSID (openrg)

to a unique name.
