SSID This is the name of the wireless network. You can type any
alphanumerical characters here, maximum 32 characters. SSID is used
to identify your own wireless router from others when there are multiple
wireless routers in the same area. The default SSID is ‘airlink101’; it’s
recommended to change it to a name that you can identify, such as
myhome, office_room1, etc.
Channel
Number Select a channel from the dropdown list of ‘Channel Number’ for
broadcasting. You can choose any channel number you want to use, and
almost all wireless clients can locate the channel you’re using
automatically without any problem. However, it’s still useful to remember
the channel number you use, some wireless client supports manual
channel number selecting, and this would help in certain scenario when
there is some radio communication problem.

will pop up. You can see the status of all active wireless stations that are
connecting to the access point.
Step 5 Set up Wireless Security for your router.
WPA2(Mixed) is the most secured encryption mode for general users. WEP is the most
common encryption but the least secured. It is recommended to use WPA2(Mixed) for your
wireless security if all wireless devices on your network support WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.
