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. Because an SSID

distinguishes WLANs from each

other, access points and wireless

devices trying to connect to a WLAN

must use the same SSID.
Also, if you want to protect

transmitted data, select a middle or

high Security Level.

Medium: Only allows those users 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 users 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.
