wireless network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters, which may be any
keyboard character. Linksys recommends that you change the default SSID (linksys) to a unique name of your
choice.
Wireless Channel. Select the appropriate channel from the list provided to correspond with your network
settings, between 1 and 11 (in North America). All devices in your wireless network must use the same channel in
order to function correctly. Linksys wireless clients will automatically detect the wireless channel of the Gateway.
Wireless SSID Broadcast. When wireless clients survey the local area for w ireless networks to associate with,
they will detect the SSID broadcast by the Gateway. To broadcast the Gateway’s SSID, keep the default setting,
Enable. If you do not want to broadcast the Gateway's SSID, then select Disable.
