and must not exceed 32 characters, which may be any keyboard character. Make sure this setting is the

same for all devices in your wireless network.

• Channel. Select the appropriate channel from the list provided to correspond with your network settings.

All devices in your wireless network must use the same channel in order to communicate.

• Mode. Select Mixed Mode if you want both Wireless-G and Wireless-B computers allowed on the
