7.The Security Settings screen will appear next, if you have not entered this information already. From this screen, you can set the level of encryption on your network, along with entering the appropriate passphrases and/or encryption keys.

If your network’s WEP encryption uses a passphrase, enter it here. The passphrase can consist of no more than 16 alphanumeric characters.

When entering the WEP key directly, it should be no more than 10 hexadecimal characters in length for 64-bit encryption or 26 hexadecimal characters in length for 128-bit encryption. Hexadecimal characters are the letters "A" through "F" and the numbers "0" through "9". All points in your wireless network must use the same WEP key to utilize WEP encryption.

Click the Next button to continue or Exit to exit the Setup Wizard.

8.The Configure Network Address Settings screen will appear next. Enter an IP Address, Subnet Mask, the IP Address of your network Gateway, and an Expander Name. Then, click the Next button to continue or Back to return to the previous page.

•IP Address. This IP address must be unique to your network. (The default IP address is 192.168.1.240.)

•Subnet Mask. The Range Expander's Subnet Mask must be the same as your network.

•Gateway. This IP address should be the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the Internet and the local network.

•Expander Name. You can assign the Range Expander any name up to 32 characters in length, such as its location (garage, downstairs, living room, etc.).
