Step 3: Configuring IEEE 802.11 Settings
Fig. 9. IEEE 802.11g communication settings.
Go to the IEEE 802.11, Communication section to configure IEEE 802.11g-
related commu-nication settings, including Channel number and Network
name (SSID).
The number of available RF channels depends on local regulations.
NOTE: The Regulatory domain setting of the SMC2586W-G
sold in the U.S. and Canada in not configurable. It’s set to FCC
by default. As a result, only channels from 1 to 11 are available.
NOTE: For two SMC2586W-Gs or one wireless client computer
and one SMC2586W-G to establish a wireless link, both devices
must be configured with the same channel number and SSID.
If the SMC2586W-G was configured to be in AP or Bridge Master mode, and
you want to use WDS to establish inter-SMC2586W-G wireless links, config-
ure the WDS settings.
