MeshID
: This is the service set ID identifying the wireless network to connect to.
It can be entered manually, e.g. if the network is hidden, or scanned using the
scan
button. Note that scanning interrupts an active wireless connection, so use this
button only when setting up the wireless connection.
Search Results
: The search results list contains the discovered SSIDs and signal
strenghts. Selecting one of the items copies it into the SSID field.
Region
: This defines the region, Europe, North America or Japan, in which this
access point is deployed. Note that this settings has to be made correctly to comply
with regulatory restrictions. Incorrect settings may cause interference.
Channel
: This field selects an available channel. The 2.4 GHz Band provides 13
channels. However these channels overlap and cannot be used without
interference. When possible, use channels 1, 6 or 11 to avoid overlapping
networks. All members of a mesh network have to use the same channel.
