helpful for configuration, network tuning, or troubleshooting activities.

Descriptions
Enter a 32-character (maximum) service set identifier (SSID); the characters are
case-sensitive. The default is NETGEAR_11ng. The SSID assigned to a wireless
device needs to match the wireless access point's SSID for the wireless device
to communicate with the wireless access point. If the SSIDs do not match, you
do not get a wireless connection to the wireless access point.
This field is not configurable. It shows the status of the wireless scheduler. For
more information, see Schedule the Wireless Radios to Be Turned Off
page 49.
Select the Yes radio button to enable the wireless access point to broadcast its
SSID, allowing wireless clients that have a null (blank) SSID to adopt the
wireless access point's SSID. Yes is the default setting. To prevent the SSID
from being broadcast, select the No radio button.
From the drop-down menu, select the channel you wish to use for your wireless
LAN. The wireless channels and frequencies depend on the country and
wireless mode. The default setting is Auto.
Note: You should not have to change the wireless channel unless you
experience interference (indicated by lost connections or slow data transfers). If
this situation occurs, you might want to experiment with different channels to see
which is the best. For more information, see
Guidelines on page 25.
Note: For more information about available channels and frequencies, see
Technical Specifications on page 107.
