SSID (3):  This is the name of wireless router. You can type any 
alphanumerical characters here, maximum 32 
characters. SSID is used to identify your own 
wireless router from others when there a re   o t h e r  
wireless routers in the same area. Default SSID is 
‘default’, it’s recommended to change default SSID 
value to the one which is meaningful to you, like 
myhome, office_room1, etc. 
 
Channel Number (4): Please select a channel from the dropdown list of 
‘Channel Number’, available channel numbers are 
1 to 13 for European countries, 1 to 11 for USA. 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 t h e r e   i s   s o m e  
radio communication problem. 
 
Associated Clients (5): Click ‘Show Active Clients’ button, then an 
“Active Wireless Client Table” will pop up. You can

NOTE: For 802.11b and 802.11g mode, the signals can be transmitted 
only by antenna 1 (The antenna in the r i g h t  side of the rear panel).  
 
For 802.11n mode: The router is operating in a 1T2R Spatial 
Multiplexing MIMO configuration. 1 antenna is for signal transmitting 
and 2 antennas are for signal receiving. 
 
NOTE: If you don’t have special reason to limit the type of allowed 
wireless client, it’s recommended to choose ‘2.4 GHz (B+G+N) to 
maximize wireless client compatibility.

NOTE: If you don’t have special reason to limit the type of allowed 
wireless client, it’s recommended to choose ‘2.4 GHz (B+G+N) to 
maximize wireless client compatibility. TIPS: You can try to change channel number to another one if you 
think the data transfer rate is too slow. There could be some other 
wireless routers using the same channel, which will disturb the radio 
communication between wireless client and the wireless router.
