Network Name (SSID) The Service Set Identifier (SSID)

is the network name shared by all devices in a wireless

network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32

keyboard characters. The default is Cisco followed by

the last 5 digits of the router’s serial number, which is

found on the bottom of the router. If you used the setup

software for installation, then the default Network Name

is changed to an easy-to-remember name.

NOTE: If you restore the router’s factory default

settings (by pressing the Reset button or using

the Administration > Factory Defaults screen),

the Network Name will return to its default

value, and all devices on your wireless network

will need to be reconnected.

Channel Width For best performance in a network

using Wireless-A and Wireless-N (5 GHz) devices, keep the

default, Auto (20 MHz or 40 MHz). For a channel width

of 40 MHz, select 40 MHz Only. For a channel width of

20MHz, select 20 MHz Only.

Channel Select the channel from the drop-down list for

Wireless-A and Wireless-N (5 GHz) networking. If you are

not sure which channel to select, then keep the default,

Auto (DFS).

SSID Broadcast When wireless clients survey the local

area for wireless networks to associate with, they will

detect the SSID (wireless network name) broadcast by the

router. To broadcast the router’s SSID, keep the default,

Enabled. If you do not want to broadcast the router’s

SSID, then select Disabled.
