Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is a WLAN (Wireless Local Area
Network) technology which links devices in a short
distance in the wireless distribution method, and
usually provides a connection through an access point
to the wider Internet. Wi-Fi gives you the mobility to
move around within a local coverage area and still be
connected to the network.
Basic Wi-Fi Settings
The device can support two Wi-Fi profiles. A profile is a
saved group of network settings. They are displayed in
the profiles list. Profiles are useful when the device is
moved from one Wi-Fi network to another. Different
profiles can be configured for each Wi-Fi network.
Profile settings include the network name (SSID), the
operating mode, and security settings.
To configure the basic Wi-Fi settings:
1. From the Web management page, click the
Settings tab.
2. Select WiFi > Basic Settings.
3. Enter a name for the SSID (Wi-Fi network).
4. In the SSID Broadcast drop-down list box, select
Enabled to enable the SSID to be broadcast, or
select
Disabled to prohibit the SSID from being
broadcast.
5. In the Channel drop-down list box, select Auto to
have the device automatically determine the Wi-Fi
channel to use, or select a channel number. The
selected channel becomes the active channel on

Tip: An SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a unique identifier that
distinguishes one hotspot from another. Wireless devices
use the SSID to establish and maintain wireless
connectivity. You should make the SSID unique and
change it on a regular basis for optimal security.
