Chapter 4 Configuring Wireless Settings
Basic Wireless Setup
To perform a basic setup of a wireless network using the Gateway:
1. In the “Wireless Basic Settings” screen, turn the Gateway’s wireless radio on by
selecting On.
2. Create a name for the wireless network and enter it in the “ESSID” text box.
3. Select a channel from the “Channel” drop-down menu. In the United States,
use channels 1-11.
4. Activate WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) to secure the wireless network by
selecting WEP.
5. Create a 64-bit WEP key by selecting 64-bit WEP Key from the “select a WEP
Key” drop-down menu, then entering a 10-digit key in the “Key Code” text
box. The digits can be any letter from A-F, and any number from 0-9.
6. Write down the Gateway’s wireless settings. To connect other devices to the
wireless network, the devices’ wireless settings must match the Gateway’s wire-
less settings exactly. Check the “Current Wireless Status” box (available in any
wireless setting screen) to view the Gateway’s wireless status and settings.
Wireless Advanced Settings
To access the Gateway’s wireless advanced settings screens, select Advanced
Settings from the menu on the left side of the “Wireless Basic Settings” screen.
