Settings to match Router’s
settings
For wireless clients, such as computers and other devices with wireless cards to establish a
wireless connection to this Router, the clients' settings, especially the SSID, channel,
wireless mode, and security (i.e., WEP) settings must match the Router's settings as
summarized in the table. If channel is set to Automatic, the Router will determine the
optimal channel to use. (If settings, particularly if using advance security options, are
changed in other or "Advanced" sections, the sections where the changes were made must
be consulted for reference.)
