Network Name and Channel are necessary for enabling a wireless network.
Network Name (SSID) - a unique network name, also called SSID (Service Set Identifer). It is used to identify the
WLAN. When a mobile device tries to connect to the router, the user must know the router's SSID first.
Channel - the radio channel over which a communication transmission occurs. The operating channel number depends
on the regulatory domain.
