The Wireless Settings menu will appear, as shown below. Figure 4-3: 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 WPN824 default SSID is: NETGEAR. • Region. This field identifies the region where the WPN824 can be used. It may not be legal to operate the wireless features of the wireless router in a region other than one of those identified in this field. Note: The region selection feature may not be available in all countries. • 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.
