ESSID
ESSID is the network name assigned to the wireless network. The factory default
setting is “ ACTIONTEC .” Although Actiontec recommends keeping the default
value intact, the ESSID value can be modified, using any combination of alphanu-
meric characters (i.e., A-Z , a-z, 0-9 ). All wireless-capable computers included on
the Router’s wireless network must have this same ESSID value. (For the Actiontec
802.11 b Wireless PC Card, the ESSID value must be the same as the SSID value.)
Channel
Channel assigns the frequency band at which the Router communicates. The fac-
tory default value is set to channel
9 .
