shared among all devices in a
wireless network. The SSID must
be identical for all devices in

Congratulations! The installation of
the Wireless-G Travel Router with

IMPORTANT: Once the Router is
configured, wireless security, either
WEP or WPA, should be configured
to prevent security breaches in your
network.
NOTE: If your wireless adapters
support Secure Easy Setup (SES), you
can use the SES button on the Router
to set them up.
To do this: Press and release the
orange Cisco logo on the Router’s
front panel. When the logo turns white
and begins to flash, press the
adapter’s SecureEasySetup button.
(Up to 10 seconds may pass before
the light begins to flash.) The Router’s
Cisco logo will stop flashing when the
device has been added to the
network. Repeat this procedure for
any additional SecureEasySetup
device.
Refer to the User Guide for further
instructions.

AES, with dynamic encryption keys.
Enter a Passphrase of 8-63
characters. Then enter a Key
Renewal period, which instructs
the Router how often it should
change the encryption keys.
WPA2-Mixed. WPA2-Mixed gives
