In the case of wireless communications, the frequency band being used can be divided into
segments, so that different communications can be conducted on each band segment. A "Channel"
refers to the individual frequency bandwidth divisions.

Some access points have a function that limits automatic access point detection. Confirm
the access point’s SSID using the access point manual, and make the settings manually
