: This unique value indicates the wireless management system name. By default, 

the name is wms5316.

NETGEAR recommends changing the name as soon as possible after setting up. The 
name can contain only alphabetical characters, numbers, and hyphens, and has to be 31 
characters or less.

: This field displays the region of operation for the wireless management 

system and the access points managed by the wireless management system. In the 
United States, the country is preset and cannot be changed on the access points. If the 
country/region is not set up correctly, the wireless management system might not be able 
to access the access points.

For products sold outside the United States, you have to select a country or region. It might 
not be legal to operate the access points in a country/region not shown here. If your location 
is not listed, check with your local government agency or check the NETGEAR website for 
more information about which channels to use.
