This name is called the Service Set Identifier (SSID). When you set up your wireless adapter, you specify the SSID.
If you want to connect to an existing network, you must use the name for that network. If you are setting up your
own network you can make up your own name and use it on each computer. The name can be up to 32
characters long and contain letters and numbers.
Channel Width
Choose a channel width from the drop down list. Generally speaking, this should not be changed from the default
setting unless you are aware of the effect that the change will have.
Control Sideband
Select a control sideband. Generally speaking, this should not be changed from the default setting unless you are
aware of the effect that the change will have.
Channel Number
Select a channel number for the wireless network. When using multiple APs, ensure that you assign a different
channel number to each AP to avoid signal interference.
Radio Power (mW)
The maximum output power of the radio. Generally speaking, this should not be changed from the default setting
unless you are aware of the effect that the change will have.
