ESSID Channel Number Associated Clients This is the name of broadband router. You can type any alphanumerical characters here, maximum 32 characters. ESSID is used to identify your own broadband router from others when there are other broadband routers in the same area. Default SSID is 'default', it's recommended to change default ESSID value to the one which is meaningful to you, like myhome, office_room1, etc. Please select a channel from the dropdown list of 'Channel Number', available channel numbers are 1 to 13. 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 select, and this would help in certain scenario when there is some radio communication problem. Click 'Show Active Clients' button to show the list of all connected wireless clients. You can click 'Refresh' in new window to get latest list again, or click 'Close' to close the window. Please note that if you have pop‐up blocker installed, you may have to disable it or tell your pop‐up blocker to allow the popup window, or you will not be able to see the wireless client list window. TIPS: You can try to change channel number to another one if you think the data transfer rate is too slow, or keep having problem while transferring the file over wireless network. There could be some other broadband routers using the same channel, which will disturb the radio communication between wireless client and the broadband router. 55
