What happens with SSID and 802.11g?

NinoC

Wont we need to set the other configurations?

yanis88

Hidden network doesn't add to the security, as it's quite simple to find it out. Use WPA2 instead Channel 1 is available, in the 2.4GHz there are only three non-overlapping channels (1, 6, and 11)

For better security, disabling SSID would be better.

matthenao

Does anybody know how we know to use channel 1? and why not any others?

SGTD_USMC

Channel 6 is the default channel most routers are set on so since the 2.4 GHz is part of the ISM band which isn't regulated, it is more advisable to put it on 1 or 12 which are less likely to be interfered with.

Rockm0uld

I'm wondering if we need to disable the SSID broadcast, for extra security? Or perhaps that doesn't fall under "highest encryption possible"

BrightHart

no one is saying anything about this

JL53

Seems quite straight forward
