The characters are case sensitive. An access point always functions in infrastructure

SSID configured in the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless VPN Firewall FWAG114. If they do not
match, you will not get a wireless connection to the FWAG114.

problems with another nearby wireless router or access point. Select a channel that is not being
used by any other wireless networks within several hundred feet of your VPN firewall . For
more information on the wireless channel frequencies please refer to
