Note: If you use a wireless computer to change the booster's wireless
settings, you will be disconnected when you click Apply. To
reconnect, you have to select the new network name that you
created, and enter its password or wireless security key.
To change the wireless settings for the booster network:

1. Select Setup > Wireless Settings to display the following screen.
2. In the Name (SSID) field, you can type in a new name to customize your booster network.
This makes it easier to identify your booster if more than one is operating in your
neighborhood.
3. In the Security Options section of the screen, select the type of wireless security that you
want to use on your network.
• None. This is an open wireless network. Any wireless computer or device is allowed
to join this network.
• WEP. WEP is an older standard, and is less secure than WPA or WPA2. WEP uses
encryption keys and data encryption for data security. You can select 64-bit or 128-bit
encryption.
• WPA-PSK [TKIP]. WPA is more secure than WEP. When using wireless computers or
devices that support WPA, you can enter a passphrase to join the booster wireless
network.
• WPA-PSK [AES]. AES is an optional encryption feature for WPA. It is more secure
compared to TKIP, but some older computers do not support this standard.
