GHz and a 5 GHz channel. If you are not sure which
wireless channels are used by nearby devices,
select the Automatic option.
Hide SSID:
The SSID specifies the name of your wireless net-
work. You can see this name when logging onto
the Wi-Fi, allowing you to identify the correct sub-
net.
If the Hide SSID option is disabled, your network
name is visible. If this option is disabled, potential
network users must know the exact SSID and enter
it manually to be able to set up a connection.
Some Wi-Fi stations have difficulty connec-
ting to hidden wireless networks. If the
connection to a hidden SSID poses pro-
blems, first try to set up the connection with
a visible SSID and only then try to hide it.
