Selections can be made by
pressing <Enter> when the
cursor is on wanted setting.
The selected setting
indicates ”X”.
Select “Automatically
connect to this network” to
ease the connection in the
future.
If the network requires encryption, select “Use encryption” and then press
<Enter> on the next line to open the selection. Usually the network
authentication requires a password and therefore the network encryption is
WPA 1/2 (Passphrase)”. Enter the password for the wireless network.
Save the settings by pressing <F10>. Note that the encryption of the wireless
network can differ from “WPA 1/2 (Passphrase)”.
Figure 7.
After the successful
connection, network’s name
turns green on the list.
If the automatic connection doesn’t work for some reason, it is possible to
initiate the connection by pressing <shift> + <C> (there’s a couple seconds
delay in the software). The connection status appears at the bottom of the
window. While selecting the network, the first column shows the strength of
the signal in percentage (max signal strength is 100%). If the signal strength
is low, relocating the Gateway may improve the connection strength.
Exit the network setup by pressing <Q>.
