Wireless

Basic Settings

Network Name (SSID) - The SSID is the network name shared among all points in a wireless
network. The SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless network. It is case-sensitive
and can be up to 32 characters in length. Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your
wireless network.
Wireless devices have a default wireless network name or Service Set Identifier (SSID) set by
the factory,. Level1 wireless products use Level1 as the default wireless network name. You
should change the wireless network name to something unique to distinguish your wireless
network from other wireless networks that may exist around you, but do not use personal
information, because this information may be available for anyone to see when browsing for
wireless networks.

Security

Encryption protects data transmitted over a wireless network. Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA-Personal/WPA2-personal) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) offer different levels of
security for wireless communication. A network encrypted with WPA-Personal/WPA2-personal
is more secure than a network encrypted with WEP, because WPA-Personal/WPA2-personal
uses dynamic key encryption. To protect the information as it passes over the airwaves, you
should enable the highest level of encryption supported by your network equipment.
Select the security method for your wireless network. If you do not want to use wireless security,
keep the default, Disabled.
