Reference Manual for the 54 Mbps Wall-Plugged Wireless Range Extender WGX102 Figure 5-1: Wireless Settings menu • Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. In a setting where there is more than one wireless network, different wireless network names provide a means for separating the traffic. Any device you want to participate in a particular wireless network will need to use this SSID for that network. The WGX102 default SSID is: NETGEAR. • Broadcast of Name (SSID). If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. Disabling SSID broadcast nullifies the wireless network 'discovery' feature of some products such as Windows XP. • Region. This field identifies the region where the WGX102 can be used. It may not be legal to operate the wireless features of the wireless range extender in a region other than one of those identified in this field. • Channel. This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access point. For more information on the wireless channel frequencies please refer to "Wireless Channels" on page C-7. Wireless Configuration and Security 5-3 202-10042-02 v1.1
