How to set up a m ultiple SSID with W EP security
Please note that WEP mode security is not as secure as the more modern WPA/WPA2
wireless security standard, and should only be used if a device you wish to connect to the
network will only support WEP mode.
If your wireless adapter or software doesn't support the WPA security standard then you can
set up an additional SSID using the WEP mode by following these instructions:
1. Login to the router's admin pages.
2. Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the 'Please proceed with
caution' page.
3. Click on Wireless Settings in the left hand navigation menu to expand the Wireless
Settings menu.
4. Click Channel and SSID in the left hand navigation menu to open the page
5. Click on the 'Wireless Mode' dropdown and select the '11b+11g' option.
6. In the Multiple SSID section tick the 'enable' option next to SSID2.
7. Enter a name for your new wireless network in the example below we named the SSID
'GuestWiFi'.
8. Click on the 'security' dropdown and select 'WEP'
9. Tick the 'Broadcast SSID' option next to SSID2
