2.Create a name for the wireless network and enter it in the “ESSID” text box.

3.Select a channel from the “Channel” drop-down menu. In the United States, use channels 1-11.

4.Activate WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) to secure the wireless network by selecting WEP.

5.Create a 64-bit WEP key by selecting 64-bit WEP Key from the “select a WEP Key” drop-down menu, then entering a 10-digit key in the “Key Code” text box. The digits can be any letter from A-F, and any number from 0-9.
