The “Wireless” tab lets you make changes to the wireless network settings. From
this tab, you can make changes to the wireless network name (SSID), operating
channel, and encryption security settings.
Channel and SSID
1. Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In the United
States, there are 11 channels. In the United Kingdom and most of Europe, there
are 13 channels. In a small number of other countries, there are other channel
requirements. Your Router is configured to operate on the proper channels for
the country you reside in. The default channel is 11 (unless you are in a country
that does not allow channel 11). The channel can be changed if needed. If there
are other wireless networks operating in your area, your network should be set to
operate on a channel that is different than the other wireless networks. For best
performance, use a channel that is at least five channels away from the other
wireless networks. For instance, if another network is operating on channel 11, then
set your network to channel 6 or below. To change the channel, select the channel
from the drop-down list. Click “Apply Changes”. The change is immediate.
