An ESSID (ESS IDentification) uniquely identifies each ESS. All access points and 
their associated wireless clients within the same ESS must have the same ESSID 
in order to communicate.

Channel
A channel is the radio frequency(ies) used by wireless devices to transmit and 
receive data. Channels available depend on your geographical area. You may have 
a choice of channels (for your region) so you should use a channel different from 
an adjacent AP (access point) to reduce interference. Interference occurs when 
radio signals from different access points overlap causing interference and 
degrading performance.
Adjacent channels partially overlap however. To avoid interference due to overlap, 
your AP should be on a channel at least five channels away from a channel that an 
adjacent AP is using. For example, if your region has 11 channels and an adjacent 
AP is using channel 1, then you need to select a channel between 6 or 11.
RTS/CTS
A hidden node occurs when two stations are within range of the same access 
point, but are not within range of each other. The following figure illustrates a
