This chapter discusses how to configure the wireless network settings in your P-660HWP-Dx.
See the appendices for more detailed information about wireless networks.
7.1 Wireless Network Overview
The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.
Figure 61 Example of a Wireless Network
The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B
are called wireless clients. The wireless clients use the access point (AP) to interact with other
devices (such as the printer) or with the Internet. Your P-660HWP-Dx is the AP.
Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.
• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID.
The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.
• If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels.
Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel,
or frequency, to send and receive information.
