Wireless Channel —Select the channel you want to use. All devices in your wireless
network must use the same channel in order to communicate. If you do not select a
particular channel number, the default setting will be Auto-scan Channel in which
case the residential gateway scans the network and chose the channel with the least
interference.
Wireless Network State —Select the wireless standards running on your network. If
you have Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices in your network, keep the default,
Mixed. If you have only Wireless-G devices, select G-Only. If you have only
Wireless-B devices, select B-Only. If you do not have any wireless devices, select
Disabled.
The Gateway supports up to four wireless networks. By default, only the first
wireless network is enabled. On the Wireless Security and MAC Filter screens, you
can configure different security settings and MAC filtering rules for each wireless
network.
Configure the following settings for each wireless network (SSID1-4):

Wireless Network Name (SSID) —The network name is case-sensitive and must
not exceed 32 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard). Cisco
recommends that you change the default name of the first network to a unique
name of your choice.

Wireless Network State —If you want to use the wireless network, select
Enabled . Otherwise, select Disabled .

Wireless SSID Broadcast —When wireless devices survey the local area for
wireless networks to associate with, they will detect the wireless network name
or SSID broadcast by the Gateway.

