The basic settings for wireless networking are set on this

There are two ways to configure the Router's wireless
network(s), manual and Wi-Fi Protected Setup.

as wireless adapters, that support Wi-Fi Protected Setup,
then you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup.

wireless network, select Manual. Refer to Basic Wireless
Settings, page 10. To use Wi-Fi Protected Setup, select

page 10.
