name. In the SSID box, you can enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The default

Note: The SSID is case sensitive; NETGEAR is not the same as nETgear. Also, the
SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure in
the RangeMax NEXT Wireless Router WNR834B. If they do not match, you
will not get a wireless connection to the WNR834B.

the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby wireless
router or access point. Select a channel that is not being used by any other wireless networks
within several hundred feet of your router. For more information on the wireless channel
frequencies, see "Wireless Communications" in Appendix
5. Set the Mode to g and b.

connection when you click Apply. You must then change the wireless settings
of your computer to match the router's new settings.
