regardless of the operating system which is used on the client.
To use the Wireless Access Point in the Wireless Router, each Wireless Station must have
compatible settings, as follows:

The mode must be set to Infrastructure (rather than Ad-hoc)
Access points only operate in Infrastructure mode.
SSID (ESSID)
This must match the value used on the Wireless Router.
Note! The SSID is case sensitive.
Wireless
Security
By default, Wireless security on the Wireless Router is disabled.
• If Wireless security remains disabled on the Wireless Router, all

• If Wireless security is enabled on the Wireless Router, each station
must use the same settings as the Wireless Router.
