The Wireless screens let you configure the settings for wireless access,
security, and protocols.
Wireless - Basic
The Wireless - Basic screen lets you enable or disable Wi-Fi capability in the
router. The default setting for wireless is enabled. From this screen you can
also hide the access point so others cannot see your ID on the network.

The next screen is the Wireless - Security screen which allows you to select
the network authentication method and to enable or disable WEP encryption.
Note that depending on the network authentication that is selected, the screen
will change accordingly so additional fields can be configured for the specific

encryption setting.
