Chapter 3 - Software Configuration

Home Gateway

To set up your wireless interface, you

must first give it an SSID (Service

Set Identifier). The SSID is a unique

identifier attached to packets sent

over WLANs. This identifier emulates

a password when a wireless device

attempts communication on the WLAN.

Since an SSID distinguishes WLANs

from each other, access points and

wireless devices trying to connect to a

WLAN must use the same SSID.

If you want to protect transmitted data,

select a middle or high Security Level.

Medium: Only allows those clients with

the same WEP key to connect to this

access point and to transmit data using

64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP encryption.

High: Only allows those clients with the same WPA pre-shared key to connect to

this access point and to transmit data using TKIP encryption.

Click Finish to continue. You are prompted to save the settings. Click

Save&Restart to save the settings to the ASUS 802.11g AP and enable the new

settings.
