share the same SSID name in order to communicate on the network. If you

choose to change the SSID from the default setting, input your new SSID

name in this field. The SSID can be up to 32 characters in length.

want to change the default setting. All devices on the network must be set to

the same channel to communicate on the network.

Privacy) on the network. All devices on the network, and the Access Point,

must share the same WEP selection – either Enable or Disable, and they

Hexadecimal entries that are either 64, 128, or 256 bit in length. When

enabling encryption, select the Key Type (ASCII or Hexadecimal) and then

input the appropriate digits or letters. You can create up to 4 keys. Select

the key you wish to use.

default setting is 1-2-5.5-11-22 (Mbps)

communicate
