To configure the wireless network, you can:
• Manually specify your SSID and your wireless security settings. The Wireless-N
AccessPoint/Bridge provides two screens for configuring the wireless settings: the basic
Wireless Settings screen, which you access under Setup in the main menu, and the Advanced
Wireless Settings screen.
• Use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement
WPA/WPA2 security on both the router and the client device. If the clients in your network
are WPS capable, you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and
implement WPA/WPA2 security on both the bridge and the client device.
