Wireless Network (2.4GHz b/g/n)
By default, the modem router broadcasts its SSID so that WiFi stations can detect the WiFi name
(SSID) in their scanned network lists. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear the Enable SSID
Broadcast check box.Turning off the SSID broadcast provides additional WiFi security, but users
must know the SSID to be able to join the WiFi network of the modem router.
Enable SSID Broadcast
The SSID is the WiFi network name. If you did not change the SSID, the default SSID displays.
The default SSID is also printed on the product label (see Bottom Panel Product Label on page
17).
We recommend that you do not change the default SSID. If you must change
the SSID, enter a 32-character (maximum), case-sensitive name in this field.
Note
Name (SSID)
From the Channel menu, select Auto for automatic channel selection or select an individual
channel. The default selection is Auto.
In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the channel
unless you experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data
transfers). If this situation occurs, experiment with different channels to see
which is the best.
Note
If you use multiple WiFi access points (APs), reduce interference by selecting
different channels for adjacent APs. We recommend a channel spacing of four
channels between adjacent APs (for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and
10).
