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.

default value is
Wireless
.
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,

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