Wireless Network Name (SSID):
The system will detect the SSID of
your router and displayed in this field
for your reference.
The SSID is the identification characters of
a router. The default words will be shown
on this page. If you do not check “Hidden
SSID” item, the router will periodically
broadcasts its SSID to allow the wireless
clients within the range to recognize its
presence. This can create a security hole
since any wireless clients which got the
broadcast might associate to your system.
Please note that if you want to
communicate, all wireless clients should
use the same SSID with the router or
access point.

device and will use the same channel
that you set here.
