The default setting is default. You may change it after you connect to
the Skyline Wireless Broadband Gateway web utility. Enter the SSID

By default, WEP is disabled. If you enable WEP on the Skyline Wire-
less Broadband Gateway, you must enable WEP on wireless clients.
Configure the wireless adapter used by the wireless client computer (see the
manual for your adapter) to connect to the Skyline Wireless Broadband
Gateway.
Open the web browser on the wireless computer. Internet access may be
