Wireless Settings
Enter your wireless network settings on this page. You must specify
a common radio channel and SSID (Service Set ID) to be used by the
BARRICADE and all of its wireless clients. Be sure you configure all of its
clients to the same value. For security purposes, you should change the
default SSID immediately.
