Configuration
Figure 26 Configuration Screen
Enable Wireless Networking
Allows you to enable/disable the wireless section of your LAN. When
disabled, no wireless PCs can gain access to your Wired or Wireless LAN
through this Access Point.
Channel Selection
The Channel Selector allows you to specify which channel the Access
Point will transmit and receive on. If another Access Point nearby is using
the same channel as you, there will be a reduction in the performance of
your network. If this seems to be the case, you should select a different
channel number. Usually the Wireless computers will scan to find the
correct channel, but if they don't you must configure them to use the
same channel number as the Access Point.
