ESSID Extended Service Set ID. The ESSID is the identifying name of a wireless network - strictly it is the identifying name of a wireless access point. It allows one wireless network to be clearly distinguishable from another. The default ESSID is autonet-XXXX, where XXXX is the last 4 digits of the In-Car routers serial number. It is recommended that you keep this ESSID in order to distinguish your router from other routers that may be in the area.
Channel Direct communication between an 802.11 radio card and an access point occurs over a common channel frequency. The FCC allows channels 1 through 11 within the U.S.. An important concept to note regarding channel assignments is that the channel actually represents the center frequency that the transceiver within the radio and access point uses (e.g., 2.412 GHz for channel 1 and 2.417 GHz for channel 2). There is only 5 MHz separation between the center frequencies, and an 802.
