Setting Up Wireless Connectivity and Enabling
Wireless Security
The Wireless Settings screen lets you set your wireless network connections and select the
appropriate and optimum security options for your network and WiFi range extender. The WiFi
range extender provides highly effective security options.
For more information, refer to the User Manual that is available from a link on the Resource CD or
by clicking the Documentation link on the main menu of your extender.
If you do not configure security on your WiFi range extender, wireless security is
not enabled. Indoors, computers can connect over wireless networks at a range of
several hundred feet. Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions
can extend beyond your walls, and anyone with a compatible adapter can receive
them, allowing others outside your immediate area to access your network. For
more information, refer to the User Manual that is available from a link on the
Resource CD or by clicking the Documentation link on the main menu of your
extender.
The Smart Wizard appears only at login when you first install the WiFi range extender or when it
is in its factory default state (for example, if you have reset the extender to its factory default
settings).
To set up wireless security through the Smart Wizard:
Log in to the WiFi range extender (see
