STEP 3 From the Wireless Channel drop-down menu, select the appropriate channel to be
used among your access point and client devices.
The default is channel 6.
You can also select Auto from the Wireless Channel drop-down menu so that your
access point selects the channel with the lowest amount of wireless interference
while the system is powering up.
Automatic channel selection starts when you click Save. It takes several seconds
to scan through all the channels to find the best channel.
For the Wireless-N 40MHz channel option (see the Wireless > Advanced screen),
the access point automatically selects the adjacent 20 MHz channel to combine
them into a wider channel.
STEP 4 In the SSID Name and SSID Broadcast fields, enter the SSIDs you want your
access point to broadcast:
• SSID Name—This field specifies a unique SSID that is shared among all
devices in a wireless network. It is case-sensitive, must not exceed 32
alphanumeric characters, and may contain any keyboard character. Make
sure this name is used by all devices in your wireless network. The default
SSID name is ciscosb.
• SSID Broadcast—Allows the SSID to be broadcast on your network. You
might want to enable this function while configuring your network, but make
sure that you disable it when you are finished. With this option enabled,
someone can easily obtain the SSID information with site survey software
or Windows XP and gain unauthorized access to your network. Select
Enabled to broadcast the SSID to all wireless devices in range. Select
Disabled to increase network security and prevent the SSID from being
seen on networked PCs. The default is Enabled in order to help users
configure their network before using it.
STEP 5 Click Save.
