Configuring the LAN Channel and Name
1
Click the Wireless Setup link to open the Wireless menu, then click the
Channel and SSID link to open the Channel and SSID screen:

Make the following changes to this screen as desired:
— Wireless Channel: Use the default shown in most cases. You may need
to change the channel if neighbors have wireless routers, or if you lose
your connection while using certain remote telephones.
— SSID: Give your wireless LAN any name you desire. For best security, do
not use your name or address. The default SSID is arris54g.
— Broadcast SSID: Uncheck to prevent passers-by from seeing your
wireless LAN name in their connection utility. This provides only a small
amount of extra security, since many wireless utilities can learn an SSID
by listening to wireless traffic.
— Protected Mode: Set to On only if needed to overcome interference.
