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.
