Wireless Pages

The SBG901 Wireless Pages allow you to configure your wireless LAN (WLAN).

You can click any Wireless submenu option to view or change the configuration
information for that option. WPA or WPA2 encryption provides higher security than WEP
encryption, but older wireless client cards may not support the newer WPA or WPA2
encryption methods.

Wireless 802.11 Radio Page

This page allows you to configure the Wireless Radio parameters, including the current
country and channel number.
