To connect a device such as a PC or printer to your wireless network, you must
configure the wireless connection on the device using the security information you
configured for the Cisco RV180/RV180W:
• Network name or Service Set Identifier (SSID). The default SSID is
ciscosb-1.
• If applicable, the encryption type and security key.
Although the Setup Wizard automatically configures the RV180/RV180W, we
recommend that you change some default settings to provide better security and
performance.
In addition, you may need to manually configure some settings. A suggested
outline of steps follows:
• Change the administrator name and password—See
Accounts" on page
• Change the idle timeout value—By default, The Device Manager logs you
out after 10 minutes of inactivity. This can be frustrating if you are trying to
configure your device. See
140.
• (Optional) If you already have a DHCP server on your network, and you do
not want the Cisco RV180/RV180W to act as a DHCP server, see
