SSID
The SSID (Service Set Identifier) defines your wireless network. All wireless devices
(Access Points, PCs, etc.) in the same network must use the same SSID. For security rea-
sons, you should change the Gigaset WLAN Repeater's default SSID. The SSID can be up
to 32 alphanumerical characters long.

Channel
Here you can select the wireless channel the Gigaset WLAN Repeater is to use to com-
municate with other wireless network components. All the wireless devices in a net-
work must use the same channel for communication. Government regulations may
limit the channels available for wireless data transmission.

Please remember:
If you are using several wired Access Points in your network, you are advised to use
different channels as this will avoid interference. To enable roaming between the
Access Points, you should assign all the Access Points and PCs in your network the
same SSID. Then your PC will automatically set up a connection to the nearest Access
Point for optimum connection quality.
