Network name (SSID)
Wireless stations communicate with each other through the air, which is a shared medium. As no physical
connection exists between the Thomson Gateway and wireless stations, a name must be given to allow
unique identification of your WLAN radio link. This is done by the Network Name, also known as Service Set
ID (SSID). Wireless stations must be configured for the same Network Name in order to be able to
communicate with other stations on the (W)LAN - via the Thomson Gateway AP.
To change the Network Name (SSID):
1
Type a Network Name of your choice.
2
Click Apply to immediately apply your changes.
Interoperability mode
By default the interoperability mode allows for both IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless stations and IEEE
802.11b compliant wireless stations to connect to the Thomson Gateway.
To change the interoperability mode:
1
Select the desired option:
802.11b
Only stations that are configured in 802.11b mode can associate.
802.11b(legacy)/g
This is a special compatibility mode for 802.11b/g and is in fact designed for older types of b-stations.
Use this mode only in case you would be experiencing connectivity problems in combination with
some particular wireless stations.
802.11b/g
Only stations that are configured in 802.11b/g mode can associate.
802.11g
Only stations that are configured in 802.11g mode can associate.

Channel
By default the Thomson Gateway chooses its radio channel automatically at start-up of the AP on basis of the
least interference with other APs.
To update the channel:
1
Click update to let the Thomson Gateway re-evaluate the aerial conditions to base the new channel
selection on. Your changes will immediately be applied.
Wireless associated stations always follow the AP's radio channel selection. They will change their channel
into that of the new updated channel selection.
To configure a fixed channel:
1
In the Channel Selection list, click the desired channel. Be aware of your region limitations.
2
Click Apply to immediately apply your changes.
