Step Three.
Step Three:
Configure your wireless settings.
This step allows you to change whether the Wi-Fi is enabled, the channel on
which the Wi-Fi is broadcast on, the name that is broadcast, the mode, the
encryption type, and the key (password) to access the broadcasted Wi-Fi signal.
•
Disable only if you do not want anyone accessing the router
wirelessly.
•
Change channel if other wireless devices are interfering with the
router.
•
Change the Network Name (ESSID) to whatever name you wish to be
broadcasted
•
Hiding the ESSID does not disable the WiFi signal and should not be
thought of as security setting. Hiding the ESSID only eliminates the name
from being broadcasted.
•
Select the router's wireless operation mode. Provide, Independent, or Join.
The default setting is Provide (Access Point).
•
Change encryption type as necessary. Some wireless devices cannot
connect to all encryption modes. The default setting is WPA-PSK. Other
typical choices include WEP (ASCII or Hex), WPA=PSK, or WPA2-PSK.
Additional available settings require additional software or hardware not
included with this router.
