Network Name (SSID)
The network name is a value that identifies a collection of wireless devices found in a particular network. The default value for the Dell
Wireless 2350 Broadband Router is
wireless . All workstations and access points must use the same SSID to be able to communicate
with one another.
The SSID can be up to 32 characters in length and the value is case sensitive.
NOTE: If you change the SSID on the Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router you must change each client’s wireless adapter settings
to match the Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router setting. If you do change the SSID, note the change and use the new
setting for each wireless network card. For assistance configuring a wireless network card, see the documentation that came
with your wireless network card.
Channel
The Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router can operate on a variety of channels. Routers within close proximity to one another must be
on different channels. If you have just one router, then the default, channel 6, is probably adequate. If you have multiple access points in
your network, it is suggested to stagger the channels for each router. It is advisable to use the default unless there is a specific reason
for changing the channel, such as interference from microwaves, cellular phone towers, or other access points in the area.
