About the network name

 

To communicate with others in a wireless group, the same

 

Network Name must be programmed into each computer. It is

 

impossible to communicate with a computer that has a different

 

Network Name. To join a wireless network, it is necessary to

 

enter the Network Name that is common to that particular

 

network. For security, specify a unique Network Name that

 

others do not guess, using more than 8 digits or characters, for

 

a wireless network.

4 Click [Save].

 

³After the “Success” screen appears, the Broadband Networking Gateway

 

restarts and you will connect to the administration initial screen.

5

Restart all the computers that are connected to the Broadband

Networking Gateway.

The KX-HGC200 has been successfully set up and is ready to communicate with others. Refer to pages from 25 and set up each computer that you want to add to a wireless network.
