you can make changes to the

AP name
SSID
Channel
WEP Key
Mode
AP Name: You may choose to rename your Access Point, especially if you
have more than one Access Point on your network.
SSID: (Service Set Identifier) “default” is the factory setting. The SSID
is a unique name that identifies a network. All devices on a network must
share the same SSID name in order to communicate on the network. If you
choose to change the SSID from the default setting, input your new SSID
name in this field. The SSID can be up to 32 characters in length.
Channel: Channel 1 is the default channel. Input a new number if you want
to change the default setting. All devices on the network must be set to the
same channel to communicate on the network.
WEP Encryption: Select 64-bit, 128-bit, or 256-bit to use WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy) on the network. All devices on the network, and the
Access Point, must share the same level WEP, and they must share the same
WEP key.
Mode: The WEP key is generated from ASCII or HEX (Hexadecimal) entries
that are either 64, 128, or 256 bit in length. Select HEX for entering HEX
numbers 0 ~ 9 and alphabet A ~ F. Or select ASCII for entering any ACSII
characters. The number of characters that you can enter is depending on the
level of WEP Key. The higher the WEP key level, the more characters you
need to enter for the keys. For 64-bit key, you need to enter 10 HEX or 5 ASCII
characters. 128-bit requires 26 HEX or 13 ASCII characters. 256-bit WEB key
needs 58 HEX or 29 ASCII characters.
Hexadecimal digits consist of the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a code
for representing English letters as numbers from 0-127
