Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID). If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only
devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the wireless network
“discovery” feature of some products such as Windows XP, Vista, and Unix systems, but the
data is still fully exposed to a determined snoop using specialized test equipment like
wireless sniffers. The default is enabled.

It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you experience
interference (shown by lost connections and slow data transfers). Should this happen, you
might need to experiment with different channels to see which is the best. Alternatively, you
can select the Auto channel option for the AP to intelligently pick the channel with least
interference. When selecting or changing channels, some points to bear in mind:

•
Access points use a fixed channel. You can select the channel that provides the least
interference and best performance. In the USA and Canada, 11 channels are available.
•
If you are using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different
channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent
access points is 5 channels (for example, use channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).
