(802.11g-draft) wireless products will appear. Enter the Network Mode,
SSID, and the channel at which the network broadcasts its wireless signal.

Network Mode. Since Wireless-G products are backwards compatible with
802.11b products, this mode is provided in the event you wish to incorpo-
rate 802.11b products into you Wireless-G wireless network. If you are
using both Wireless-G and 802.11b products in your network, select Mixed
mode. You may experience reduced networking speeds in Mixed mode, as
the speed must compensate for both types. If you are only using Wireless-
G products in your network, select G-Only mode.
SSID. The SSID is the unique name shared among all points in a wireless
network. The SSID must be identical for all points in the wireless network.
It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters, which may be any
keyboard character. The default SSID, linksys-g, should be changed for
greater security. Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your
wireless network.
Channel. Select the appropriate channel from the list provided to corre-
spond with your network settings, between 1 and 11 (in North America). All
points in your wireless network must use the same channel in order to func-
tion correctly.
