When you click on the wireless network option box, Windows will scan for available
networks. More than one wireless network may appear in the list. These are other
wireless networks that are within range of your network. Your neighbors, for
instance, may be within range of your network. Each wireless network has a
channel associated with it. We recommend there be at least a five-channel
difference between your network and those of your neighbors. Having less than a
five-channel difference may result in interference with your connection. By default,
the Modem/Router uses channel 10. If you need to change this channel, you must
do so using the
Wireless Setup
page of the
Zoom Configuration Manager
. For
instructions on how to log in to the
Zoom Configuration Manager
, see page 10.
After logging in, select
Wireless
from the left-hand menu. On the
Wireless
page
you can select a new channel from the drop-down menu.
