This section discusses wireless LANs in depth. For more information, see the 
appendix.

The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.

Figure 93   Example of a Wireless Network

The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, 
devices A and B use the access point (AP) to interact with the other devices (such 
as the printer) or with the Internet. Your N4100 is the AP.

Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.

• Every device in the same wireless network must use the same SSID.

The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set 

IDentifier.

• If two wireless networks overlap, they should use a different channel.

Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific 

channel, or frequency, to send and receive information.
