Tips
• You will need the SSID, and the encryption key or
pre-shared key, when you connect your computer to
the Base Station via a wireless connection. Make a
note of the information you enter here.
• The information set here is only used in normal
mode. In setup mode, the initial settings shown on
the side of the Base Station are used, and the Base
Station works on the 2.4 GHz frequency band
(1 page 23).
• The initial setting for the wireless channel in normal
mode is a channel in the 2.4 GHz band. To use a
wireless device that is only compatible with the 5
GHz band, change the wireless channel of the Base
Station to a channel in the 5 GHz band.
Also you can use the Base Station as a Wireless
Access Point.
If you use the Base Station as a Wireless Access
Point, you can connect to the Internet via the Base
Station from a device equipped with a wireless
LAN function.

Tip
To use the Base Station as a wireless access point for
computers, the computers must be equipped with
integrated wireless LAN functions or wireless LAN
cards that conform to the IEEE802.11a/b/g standards.
Notes
• Not all wireless LAN devices are guaranteed to
connect to the Base Station.
• You can also connect a maximum of 16 wireless
LAN devices by using the Base Station as an access
point. In some cases, however, the number of
connecting devices may cause the communication
speed to decrease. For example, you may not be able
to send or receive video smoothly if other wireless
LAN devices connect and communicate with the
Base Station.
