Using router settings and features

3 In the Options section, click the arrow to open the Channel list, then click the channel number (1 - 11) you want. We recommend that you leave the default setting (6) unless another wireless network in your area is using that channel. Select an unused channel if that is the case.

4 If you want to configure WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) security for your wireless network:

a Click Configure WEP. The Wireless - WEP Data Encryption window opens.

Important

WEP must be configured exactly the same for all wireless stations on your entire local wireless network. Wireless stations with different settings will be unable to communicate with the rest of the network.

b Click the arrow to open the WEP Data Encryption list, then click 64-bit or 128-bit encryption (Disable is the default). The higher level offers more security but may slow network speed.

c Click the arrow to open the Authentication Type list, then click the type of authentication you want to use (Automatic is the default). If you select a different type of authentication, make sure that the rest of your network uses the same setting.
