This screen allows you to choose your wireless network mode and wireless security.
Wireless Network
• Wireless Network Mode. If you have Wireless-G and 802.11b devices in your network, then keep the default
setting, Mixed. If you have only Wireless-G devices, select G-Only. If you want to disable wireless
networking, select Disable.
• Wireless Network Name. Enter the Wireless Network Name (SSID) into the field. The SSID is the network
name shared among all devices in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for all devices in the
wireless network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters, which may be any
keyboard character. For added security, 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 13 (in most of Europe and between 1 and 11 in North America and South America).
All devices in your wireless network must use the same channel in order to function correctly.
