distinguished from another. For security propose, change the default
name to a unique ID name to the AP which is already built-in to the
router's wireless interface. It is case sensitive and must not excess 32
characters. Make sure your wireless clients have exactly the SSID as the
device, in order to get connected to your network.

can obtain the SSID through passive scanning.

transmitted over the network, the router offers highly secure data
encryption, known as WEP.&WPA. If you require high security for
transmissions, there are two alternatives to select from: 64-bit WEP and
128-bit WEP. WEP 128 will offer increased security over WEP 64.
