Set up an open or secure Wi-Fi network, with or without DHCP
The Array furnished with the RDK is shipped with predefined wireless networks (called
SSIDs) that you can use to offer a secure or non-secure wireless connection, with or
without having the Array assign IP addresses to clients via DHCP. By default, only the
secure SSID
ConnectHereSecure is enabled. To offer your clients one of the other
predefined wireless networks, you must enable it first. However, we recommend that you
create a new SSID for your clients with a name that is familiar to them, using the
procedure
“Creating, “renaming”, and enabling SSIDs” on page 19 . For instance, you
might use the name of your company, agency, or event.
Predefined SSIDs
The ConnectHereSecure SSID is shipped in the enabled state. All the other SSIDs are
shipped in the disabled state. Thus, when the Array is first powered up, your clients will
only be able to connect to the
ConnectHereSecure network.
