Make the following changes to this screen as desired:
•
Wireless Channel
: Use the default shown in most cases. You may need
to change the channel if neighbors have wireless routers, or if you lose
your connection while using certain remote telephones.
•
SSID
: Give your wireless LAN any name you desire. For best security, do
not use your name or address. The default SSID is
arris54g
.
•
Broadcast SSID
: Uncheck to prevent passers-by from seeing your wire-
less LAN name in their connection utility. This provides only a small
amount of extra security, since many wireless utilities can learn an SSID
by listening to wireless traffic.
•
Protected Mode
: Set to
On
only if needed to overcome interference.
