Network Name (SSID) The Service Set Identifier (SSID)
is the network name shared by all devices in a wireless
network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed
32 keyboard characters. The default is Ciscoxxxxx (xxxxx
are the last five digits of the Router’s serial number). The
serial number is located on the left side of the product
label, which is on the bottom panel.
Channel Width The default is 20 MHz Only. For best
performance, select Auto to have the Router automatically
select the Channel Width (20 MHz or 40 MHz).
Channel Select the appropriate channel for your wireless
network. If you are not sure which channel to select, then
keep the default, Auto.
SSID Broadcast When wireless clients survey the local
area for wireless networks to associate with, they will
detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast the
Router’s SSID, keep the default, Enabled. If you do not
want to broadcast the Router’s SSID, then select Disabled.
