Configure Your Wireless Security Settings

WE800G
Due to the limitation of the Wi-Fi WPA Test Plan, your WE800G's
factory default settings are not set at their maximum security level.
Adjustments are strongly recommended to ensure that you
communicate securely on your wireless network at maximum
strength. Failure to configure these settings properly could
compromise your network to wireless hackers.
WARNING!
When first configuring your WE800G, it is recommended
that you have an Ethernet cable connected to the
WE800G. Performing the INITIAL configuration using a
wireless connection is not secure and is not
recommended.
After you have finished the initial configuration of the
WE800G, your connection will be secure and you can
safely use either a wired or wireless connection.

Wireless Ethernet Bridge. The settings below indicate how to setup

If the wireless network you are going to connect to uses different

security settings to ensure a proper connection.
