If using an ESS (Extended Service Set, with multiple access
points) this ID is called an ESSID (Extended Service Set Identi-
fier).

To communicate, all Wireless stations should use the same
SSID/ESSID.

Select the Channel you wish to use on your Wireless LAN.

If you experience interference (shown by lost connections and/or
slow data transfers) you may need to experiment with different
channels to see which is the best.
•
If using multiple Access Points, adjacent Access Points should use
different Channels to reduce interference.
