SSID: SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the identity of the wireless device. You can only

access the ISP's network by entering the correct SSID of the ISP's wireless device.

You can click the Open scan button to let the router automatically search for any

available SSIDs. The SSID can also be the SSID of the primary wireless device

when using the router as a wireless bridge.

MAC: To connect to the ISP's wireless device you need to know the device's MAC

address. You can click the Open scan button to let the router automatically search

for an available MAC address or the primary wireless device's MAC address.

Channel: The wireless device's communication channel. You must select the same

channel as the ISP's wireless device to enable communications. It can also be

scanned by clicking the Open scan button.

Security mode: When the ISP wireless device is secured, the access device should

set the same security mode, encryption mode, and key as the ISP's wireless device.

Example:

If your ISP's wireless device's SSID is Wireless then just enter Wireless into the SSID field,

plus the wireless MAC address and channel into the corresponding fields of the above

picture. If the ISP device is secured, set your router's encryption type to the same as used

by the ISP's device. Alternatively, you can click the Open scan button to let the router

automatically fill in the SSID, Channel, and wireless MAC. After saving these values, go to

the WAN Setting screen to select the corresponding WAN connection type to complete the

configuration.
