instructions to set up the ASUS 802.11g AP. Tips are displayed

when you move your cursor over an item.

3.7.1 Interface

SSID
The SSID is an identification string of up to 32 ASCII characters that

differentiate one ASUS 802.11g AP or Access Point from other manufacturers.

The SSID is also referred to as the “ESSID” or “Extended Service Set ID.”

You can use the default SSID and radio channel unless more than one ASUS

802.11g AP is deployed in the same area. In that case, you should use a

different SSID and radio channel for each ASUS 802.11g AP. All ASUS

Wireless APs/Routers and ASUS 802.11g/802.11b WLAN client adapters

must have the same SSID to allow a wireless mobile client to roam. By

default, the SSID is set to “default”.
