Description
From the menu, select the country and region in which the access point is operating.

your network.
To set up the access point with a static (fixed) IP address, do the following:

combination of alphanumeric and special characters.
From the menu, select one of the following authentication types for the WiFi
network:
• Open. Authentication is not required and data encryption is not supported.
This setting does not provide any security and is not appropriate for most
situations.
• WPA2-PSK. This option allows only WiFi clients that support WPA2 to connect
to the SSID. Select this option if all WiFi clients are capable of supporting
WPA2. This option uses AES encryption.
• WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK. This option allows both WPA and WPA2 WiFi clients
to connect to the SSID. This option uses TKIP and AES encryption. Broadcast
packets use TKIP. For unicast (that is, point-to-point) transmissions, WPA
clients use TKIP and WPA2 clients use AES.
Unless you select Open from the Authentication Type menu, enter a new WiFi
password (network key) for the WiFi network.
