The SSID can be up to 32 characters in length. SSID Broadcast: "enable" is the default setting. The SSID Broadcast "broadcasts" the SSID over the network, making connection easier, although this may raise security concerns. Channel: Channel 36 is the default channel for 802.11a. Channel 6 is the default channel for 802.11b. Select a different channel if you want to change the default setting. All devices on the network must be set to the same channel to communicate on the network.
