A screen similar to the following displays:

2. In the Name (SSID) field, type a new name to customize your extender network.

3. In the Region field, select the region where your extender operates.

4. In the Security Options field, select the type of wireless security that you want to use on

your network:

• None. This is an open wireless network. Any wireless computer or device is allowed

to join this network.

• WEP. WEP is an older standard, and is less secure than WPA or WP

A2. WEP uses

encryption keys and data encryption for data security. You can select 64-bit or 128-bit

encryption. For more information, see Set Up WEP on page 29.

• WPA-PSK [TKIP]. WPA is more secure than WEP. When using wireless computers or

devices that support WP

A, you can enter a passphrase to join the extender wireless

network. For more information, see Set Up WPA, WPA2, or WPA + WPA2 on page 30.

• WPA2-PSK [AES]. WP

A2 is even more secure, but some older computers do not

support this standard. When using wireless computers or devices that support WPA2,

you can enter the passphrase to join the extender wireless network. For more

information, see Set Up WPA, WPA2, or WPA + WPA2 on page 30.

• WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PASK [AES]. When using wireless computers or devices

that support either WP

A or WPA2, you can enter the passphrase to join the extender

wireless network.

For more information, see Set Up WPA, WPA2, or WPA + WPA2 on page 30.

5. Click the Apply button.

Your settings are saved.

6. Use your wireless computer to connect to the extender network with its new settings.

The Smart Wizard guides you through this process.
