2. As appropriate, select the region in which the wireless interface will operate.
Note: In North America, you will not be able to change the region setting.
3. For the wireless network name (SSID), use the default name, or choose a suitable
descriptive name. In the Name (SSID) field, you can enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric

any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you specify in the WGR614v11

router.

channel that is not being used by any other wireless networks within several hundred
feet of your router. For more information about the wireless channel frequencies, click
