Wireless Menu Options

Use the Wireless menu to change your mode from Client to Ad Hoc Mode and enter a Network Name (SSID) or select a unique channel for Ad Hoc Mode. If you are not sure of the SSID of your network, use the Site Survey feature under Tools to locate a network near the USR5430.

Security: Using a secure wireless network

A wireless network offers you the freedom to roam without the burden of cables but it also means that your data is accessible to anyone else in range of your wireless grid. If you are concerned about a neighbor or someone within range of your wireless network using your wireless connec- tion for malicious activity, we strongly recommend that you enable wireless security to prevent unauthorized connection or someone from eavesdropping to listen in on your network traffic. Today, many wireless routers provide several mechanisms for securing a wireless network and it is recommended that you first enable security on your wireless router and then match the method you have selected on your clients.
