10. There are two ways to configure the Access Point’s wireless settings, SecureEasySetup and manual
configuration.
If you have other SecureEasySetup devices, such as notebook adapters or printers, then you can use the
Access Point’s SecureEasySetup feature to configure your wireless network. Proceed to the section, “Using
the Access Point’s SecureEasySetup Feature.”
If you do not have other SecureEasySetup devices, then proceed to the section, “Manually Configuring the
Access Point’s Wireless Settings.”

NOTE:
If you have already set up your network using your router’s SecureEasySetup feature, then
you cannot use the Access Point’s SecureEasySetup feature. You must manually configure the
Access Point’s wireless settings to match your existing network’s settings.
