AP Name: You may choose to rename your access point, especially if you have more

than one access point on your network.

SSID: The SSID is a unique name that identifies a network. All devices on a network

must 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.

Channel: Channel 6 is the default channel. Input a new number if you want to change

the default setting. All devices on the network must be set to the same channel to

communicate on the network.

WEP Encryption: Select Enable Encryption to use WEP (Wired Equivalent 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 must share the same WEP key.

The WEP key is generated from ASCII or 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.

Hexadecimal digits consist of the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F

representing English letters as numbers from 0-127
