Most pages in the configuration have two buttons: Save and Clear. After making
changes on a page, you must click Save to store the modifications before moving
to a new page. If you make a mistake, click Clear before saving to restore the original
page settings.
To reduce the possibility of losing wireless association with an access point while
you are configuring, security settings are stored when you click Save in the
security pages, but they do not take effect until you click Save in the Wireless
Network page. First configure security settings. Then go to the Wireless
Network page and configure wireless network settings, including the Wireless
LAN Service Area. The security settings take effect after you click Save in the
Wireless Network page.
