SSid: The service set identifier (SSID) differentiates one WLAN from
another; therefore, all access points and devices attempting to connect
to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. It is case-sensitive and
must not exceed 32 characters. A device will not be permitted to join the
basic service set (BSS) unless it can provide the unique SSID. An SSID
is also referred to as a network name because, essentially, it is a name
that identifies a wireless network.
Channel number: Allows you to set the channel manually or automatically.
To set manually, just select the channel you want to specify. If "Auto" is
selected, you can set the range so the router automatically surveys and
chooses the channel with the best situation for communication. The
number of channels supported depends on the access point's region.
All stations communicating with the AP must use the same channel.
