Channels 1, 6 and 11 are for 802.11b WLAN networks. This means that you may use channel 1 at home but may need to use channel 6 or 11 at a Wi-Fi hotspot or hotel. If there are multiple APs in the area, they will need to transmit on different channels to prevent interference. Channel settings: APs have multiple channels on which they broadcast their signals.In most cases the SSID is broadcast so that your WLAN card will identify it automatically. This used to be the only security enabled for a WLAN, in that only clients that were configured with the proper SSID could connect to the WLAN. Service set identifier (SSID) setting: This is a unique identifier that distinguishes one WLAN from another.The following are the basic configuration parameters that must be met: The first thing that you want to ensure is that the client is configured properly. Configuration parametersĪs I said above, in order to connect to an AP, the client and AP must match in their configuration. However, most of the WLAN client issues I see relate to users who have new WLAN cards or embedded WLAN cards. In most cases, an admin configuring a WLAN for office users or the user setting up a WLAN in a home office will be configuring the access point and can therefore match the client configuration settings and AP settings easily. Basically, the WLAN client configuration will have to meet the configuration that has been set up on the AP. These can include SSID, IP addressing, security and channel configuration parameters. There are several features of the WLAN client that require configuration in order to connect to a wireless AP and to transmit data.
