Wireless-G Access Point
Channel Select the appropriate channel from the list
provided; this will be the channel that all of your wireless
devices will use.
SSID Broadcast This feature allows the SSID to be
broadcast by the Access Point. You may want to enable
this function while configuring your network, but make
sure that you disable it when you are finished. With this
enabled, someone could easily obtain the SSID information
with site survey software and gain unauthorized access to
your main network. Click Enabled to broadcast the SSID
to all wireless devices in range. Click Disabled to increase
network security and block the SSID from being seen on
networked PCs.
Current Encryption This shows the encryption method
currently used by the Access Point.
SecureEasySetup Button The status of the Access Point’s
SecureEasySetup feature is displayed here. If you want to
use the Access Point’s SecureEasySetup feature, click the
SecureEasySetup button.
NOTE: If you have already set up your network
using your router’s SecureEasySetup feature,
then you cannot use the Access Point’s
SecureEasySetup feature. You must manually
configure the Access Point’s wireless settings to
match your existing network’s settings.
NOTE: SecureEasySetup uses WPA Personal
encryption. If your current wireless devices
do not support WPA Personal security, then
you cannot use SecureEasySetup on your
network. You will need to manually configure
your network security using the encryption
supported by your existing devices.
You will be asked to press the SecureEasySetup button
(hardware or software) on your wireless client (computer
or other network device) within two minutes to complete
the SecureEasySetup process. Click OK to continue.

A new screen will be displayed while the Access Point is
waiting for you to push the SecureEasySetup button on
your wireless client.

When the SecureEasySetup process is complete, the Basic
Wireless Settings screen will appear, and the Current
Encryption and Status information will be updated.
SecureEasySetup Completed Screen
NOTE: You can only add one SecureEasySetup
device at a time. For additional devices, click
SecureEasySetup on the Wireless > Basic
Wireless Settings screen and repeat the process.
Reset Security If you already set up the network using
the Access Point’s SecureEasySetup feature and you want
to replace your current settings with new SecureEasySetup
settings, click Reset Security. A new screen will appear.
You will be asked to confirm that you want to reset your
wireless security settings. Click OK to continue.
