 To change the wireless settings for the extender’s network:

1. Select Setup > Wireless Settings to display the following screen:

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

This will make it easier to identify your extender if more than one is operating in your

neighborhood.

3. In

the Security Options section of the screen, 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 st

andard, and is less secure than WPA or WPA2. WEP uses

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

encryption.

• WP

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

devices that support WPA, you can enter a passphrase to join the extender’s wireless

network.

• WP

A2-PSK [AES]. WPA2 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’s wireless network.

• WP

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

that support either WPA or WPA2, you can enter the passphrase to join the extender’s

wireless network.

your settings.

5. Use your

wireless computer to connect to the extender’s network with its new settings. The

Smart Wizard can guide you through this process.
