Step 2: Basic Wireless Settings
The pre-configured settings on Figure 3 to the right
will be appropriate for most settings. You might want
to change the Network Name (ESID) and Frequency
(Channel) fields. Click ‘Advanced’ and then
‘WiFi Basic Setup’. To edit the Wireless broadcast ID,
change the “Network Name (SSID)” field and click
the ‘Apply’ button at the bottom of the page.
Click ‘Next’ to move to the final step.
Step 3: Wireless Security Setup
This final step allows you to prevent unauthorized
use of your wireless network by configuring an
encryption method and a pass-phrase that only you
know. Click the ‘Advanced’ link and then the
‘WiFi- Security Setup’. If, for example, you want to
use WPA2-PSK as the Security mode, automatic
cipher, and abcxyz123 as the pass-phrase, your
setting would be like the following image. First set
the ‘Security Mode’ to WPA, then in the WPA
section below, change the ‘Pass Phrase’ to abcxyz123.
D. Setting Up Your Wireless Devices
Your wireless devices (desktop, laptop, iPad,
smart-phone, etc.) must be configured to work with
your wireless router. Each of these devices must have
an internal or external wireless adapter and applicable
drivers. User guides for each of these devices should
have instructions for wireless set up. You will need
the SSID and password you assigned to this wireless
router during router set up. For each wireless device,
access the setup menu, choose the appropriate
SSID from the list of wireless networks, enter your
password, and test the wireless connection.
