** WPA2, AES provides the best security. But not all wireless adaptors in notebook or

manufacturer if their product support WPS2-PSK, AES. If not sure, please choose WPA-
PSK, AES or TKIP.

wireless AP e.g. 192.168.1.1 > DHCP Client Range: change the range to be in the
same subnet range e.g. 192.168.1.100 – 192.168.1.200 > Apply Changes > the router
