‘default’, it’s recommended to change default ESSID
value to the one which is meaningful to you, like
myhome, office_room1, etc.

‘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.
