then you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup.

wireless network, select Manual. Proceed to the "Basic
Wireless Settings" section. To use Wi-Fi Protected Setup,

Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings (Manual Setup)
Network Mode From this drop-down menu, you can
select the wireless standards running on your network. If
you have Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B devices in
your network, keep the default setting, Mixed. If you have
only Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices in your network,
select BG-Mixed. If you have only Wireless-N devices,
select Wireless-N Only. If you have only Wireless-G
devices, select Wireless-G Only. If you have only Wireless-
B devices, select Wireless-B Only. If you do not have any
wireless devices in your network, select Disabled.
Network Name (SSID) The SSID is the network name
shared among all points in a wireless network. The
SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless
network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed
32 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard).
Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your
wireless network. For added security, you should change
the default SSID (linksys) to a unique name.
Radio Band For best performance in a network using
Wireless-N, Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices, keep the
default, Wide - 40MHz Channel. For Wireless-G and
Wireless-B networking only, select Standard - 20MHz
Channel. If you are not sure which radio band to select,
keep the default, Auto.
NOTE: If you select Wide - 40MHz Channel for
the Radio Band setting, then Wireless-N can use
two channels: a primary one (Wide Channel)
and a secondary one (Standard Channel). This
will enhance Wireless-N performance.
Wide Channel If you selected Wide - 40MHz Channel for
the Radio Band setting, then this setting will be available
for your primary Wireless-N channel. Select any channel
from the drop-down menu. If you are not sure which
channel to select, keep the default, Auto.
