change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby
wireless router or access point. Select a channel that is not being used by any other wireless
networks within several hundred feet of your modem router. For more information about the
wireless channel frequencies, see the online document that you can access from “Preparing
Your Network” in Appendix A.

Access List. In addition, leave the encryption strength set to one.
8. Click Save to save your settings or click Apply to allow your changes to take effect
immediately.

Program the wireless adapter of your computers to have the same SSID and channel that you
specified in the router. Check that they have a wireless link and can obtain an IP address by
DHCP from the modem router.
Once your computers have basic wireless connectivity to the modem router, you can configure the
advanced wireless security functions of the firewall.

channel is listed in the channel pulldown menu. The associated channels in
this mode are: 1+5, 2+6, 3+7, 4+8, 5+9, 6+10, and 7+11. When you select
another wireless network mode, the channel pulldown displays all available
channels: 1 through 13. However, available wireless channels depend on the
selected wireless region.
