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.

3 Click [OK].
