User Manual for the NETGEAR WGE111 Wireless Game Adapter
Network Name (SSID)
Choose a descriptive name for the WGE111 Wireless Game Adapter for identification purposes.
ANY is the factory default name for Infrastructure mode, which is a special name that will connect
with whatever access point or router's signal is strongest. Enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric
characters, or click the Select AP to choose an available Access Point. Spaces are not allowed, but
dashes (-) and underscore marks (_) are accepted.
The SSID must be the same as the Access Point you want to connect to. This value is also
case-sensitive. For example, NETGEAR is not the same as NETGEAr.
