Wireless Router
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 (SSID) and Frequency
(Channel) fields.
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. If, for example, you want to use WPA2-PSK as
the Security mode, TKIP as the WPA algorithm, and
abcxyz123 as the pass phrase, your setting would be
like the settings in Figure 4 below.
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.
