SSID (3):
This is the name of wireless router. You can type any
alphanumerical characters here, maximum 32 characters. SSID is
used to identify your own wireless router from others when there are
other wireless routers in the same area. Default SSID is ‘default’, it’s
recommended to change default SSID value to the one which is
meaningful to you, like myhome, office_room1, etc.
Channel Number (4): Please select a channel from the dropdown list of ‘Channel Number’,
available channel numbers are 1 to 13 for European countries, 1 to
11 for USA. You can .choose any channel number you want to use,
and almost all wireless clients can locate the channel you’re using
automatically without any problem. However, it’s still useful to
remember the channel number you use, some wireless client
supports manual channel number select, and this would help in
certain scenario when there is some radio communication problem.
Associated Clients (5): Click ‘Show Active Clients’ button, then an “Active Wireless Client
Table” will pop up. You can see the status of all active wireless
stations that are connecting to the access point.
TIPS: You can try to change channel number to another one if you think the data
transfer rate is too slow. There could be some other wireless routers using the
same channel, which will disturb the radio communication between wireless
client and the wireless router.
NOTE: If you don’t have special reason to limit the type of allowed wireless
client, it’s recommended to choose ‘2.4 GHz (B+G+N) to maximize wireless client
compatibility.
