Step 3. Wireless Settings - Zoom Wireless-N User Manual

Step 3. Wireless Settings

The Wireless Settings page lets you change the wireless settings for your Wireless-N 4-port Router. After
running the Setup Wizard you will need to make sure that wireless devices connecting to the Wireless-N
4-port Router (computers, phones, tablets, game stations, etc.) are set up properly, compatible with your
Router's wireless settings. For instructions, refer to
Wireless-N 4-port Router.
If you are happy with your wireless settings (set at the factory to wireless without security), click
Next. Otherwise, continue below.
•
Wireless Accept the default Enable. Click the Disable radio button only if you do
not want wireless clients to access your network.
•
SSID (Wireless Network Name) is the name that you want to give your wireless
network. By default, the SSID for the Wireless-N 4-port Router is Zoom. You can
change the SSID to a name of your choice. The SSID can be up to 32 alphanumeric
characters. If you change the name, make sure that all devices on your Wireless-N
4-port Router's wireless network use the new SSID as the access point.
•
Channel refers to the wireless network channel assigned to your LAN. By default, the
Wireless-N 4-port Router uses channel 10. You would only change this setting if you
were concerned about possible interference from another wireless access point using
the same channel.
Note: Other wireless networks might be within range of your network. Your
neighbors, for instance, may be within range. If you are having trouble connecting, try
setting a different channel to see if that improves performance. You should try setting
a channel that is at least a 5 channel difference than what you are using. By default, the
Wireless-N 4-port Router is set to 10. You may want to try channel 4 or 5, for instance,
if you have trouble connecting with the default channel (10).
