operating mode of your dLAN
®
Wireless extender. To use your adapter as an
access point, you will need to configure additional settings related to the
SSID, channel and encryption (see following section). To use your Wireless
extender as a WLAN client in an existing wireless network, enter the
network's name (SSID: Service Set Identifier) and WEP key (if
applicable).
A WEP key consists of a hexadecimal number with exactly 10 or exactly 26
digits (from 0 to 9 and A to F, e.g. "8AF34597FF"). Do not enter special
characters such as colons.
Note that the WLAN function is enabled and WLAN encryption is disabled
when the device is set to its factory defaults. When enabling encryption,
ensure that the WLAN settings (SSID, encryption mode and encryption
password) of the access point and those of the clients always match, as
otherwise you may exclude devices from your network (unintentionally).
Click Save when you are finished.
