Wireless Setup
To access the Wireless Setup window, click the Wireless Setup button in the Setup directory.
The two essential settings for wireless LAN operation are the Wireless
Network Name (SSID) and Wireless Channel. The SSID (Service Set
Identifier) is used to identify a group of wireless LAN components. The
SSID can be visible (broadcast) or hidden (not broadcast).
Follow the instructions below to change wireless network settings.
1. The Wireless LAN is enabled by default. To disable the wireless
interface, click to deselect the Enable Wireless check box. If the
wireless interface has been disabled, click the Enable Wireless
check box again to select it.
2. The Wireless Network Name (SSID) can be changed to suit
your wireless network. Remember that any wireless device using
the access point must have the same SSID and use the same
channel.
3. If you want the Router to scan the available channel
automatically, tick the Enable Auto Channel Scan check box.
4. The Wireless Channel may be changed to channels that are
available in your region. Channels available for wireless LAN
communication are subject to regional and national regulation.
5. Select a wireless protocol in the 802.11 Mode drop-down list.
6. The Hide Wireless Network is not selected by default. To make
the wireless network invisible, tick the Hide Wireless Network
check box.
To configure Wireless Security, select WEP or WPA-Personal in the
Security Mode drop-down list.
