The gateway tries to communicate with the wireless computer or device for 4 minutes.

If the Security Option in the Wireless Settings screen was set to Disabled, it is
automatically changed to WPA-PSK (including a PSK security password).
When the computer connects to the wireless network, the gateway sends its SSID and
WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK configuration to that computer.
