3 In the
SSID
box, enter the SSID you want the AP+2 to
broadcast (when in access point or repeater mode). This is the
name of the wireless network that will appear to other devices
on your network. By default, this is set to
zoom
. The SSID can
be up to 32 alphanumeric characters and is case sensitive.

4 Select the
Broadcast SSID
check box to broadcast the name
you entered in step 3 so other devices within range can
connect to your wireless network. (This check box should be
selected by default.) For security reasons, we recommend that
you clear this check box after you have connected all the
devices that you want to access your wireless network. This
will ensure that other devices in your area—for example, those
of your neighbors—do not see your network when they search
for available networks.

5 From the
Transmit Rate
drop-down list, select the rate at
which you want data sent over your wireless network. We
recommend you keep the default value of
Auto
. When set to
Auto
, the rate of transmission will automatically increase or
decrease depending on the strength and quality of the radio
signal. (If you want to change the default option, note that the
higher the rate, the better the signal.)

6 From the
Basic Rate
drop-down list, select whether you want
your AP+2 to only allow 802.11g devices to access the wireless
network or if both 802.11g and 802.11b devices will be granted
access. We recommend you select
802.11g only
. You should
only select
802.11g +802.11b (mixed)
if you have both types
of devices on your network.
