If you want to clone your existing wireless network, enter 
the same wireless settings that your router or gateway 
uses.

If you want to create a new wireless network, enter new 
wireless settings. Creating a new wireless network lets 
you have a second network in another zone of your 
house.

Record the new wireless settings here:

Wireless network name (SSID)
