3. Select Enable to enable the Wireless Interface.
4. Type your wireless network ID in SSID (Example: northerntel).
5. Optionally, select a channel ID from the Channel drop-down menu and click on
Enable Auto Scan on Power ON. This step is optional but is strongly recommended if
you experience interference or if you live in a heavily populated area (example: downtown
or near an office building). This way, if there is interference, your modem will choose
another channel.
6. Click Next.
7. Select WPA-TKIP from the Security Mode drop-down menu, as recommend by
NorthernTel.
Wireless Setup WPA-TKIP Option
To use the WPA-TKIP option:
1. From the "Wireless Security Configuration" window, select WPA-TKIP from the
Security Mode drop-down menu. If you check Enable SSID Broadcast, the detection of
your internet signal will be easier for non-authorized users, therefore it is recommended
you not activate the broadcast.
2. Click Next. This displays the "Wireless WPA Configuration" window.
3. Create a secret password with no more than 30 characters. This password needs to be
difficult to find for an external user, but easy to type for you.
4. Keep Group Key Renewal at 3600 seconds.
5. Click Next. This displays the "Wireless Filter Configuration" window.
