Wireless Network Connection
As soon as the Router is turned on, wireless networking is available. This section
explains the wireless networking screens in the Router’s MegaControl Panel.
Wireless Setup
Clicking on the “Wireless Setup” icon at the top of the Home screen generates the
“Wireless Setup” screen. This screen displays various wireless connection properties.
Enable Wireless
Click in this check box to toggle the Router’s wireless operation on and off. The
Router ships with its wireless capabilities activated.
Status
Displays the status of the Router’s wireless connection.
SSID
The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the network name shared among all devices
on a particular wireless network. The SSID must be identical for all devices on
the wireless network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.
Make sure the SSID is the same for all devices to be connected to the wireless
network. The Router comes from the factory with an SSID already entered, but it
can be changed here. The default SSID can also be found on a sticker on the bot-
tom of the Router.
