Creating your own wireless LAN (Soft AP and Ad-hoc modes)

When prompted, assign an SSID (Network Name) to the soft access point (AP) or wireless LAN network (Ad-hoc) you wish to create, then select a radio channel that you wish to use in communicating with other wireless devices.

Click Next to continue.

Check Data encryption (WEP enabled) to secure your soft AP or wireless LAN network with a Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption. Click Next.

Enabling data encryption prevents unauthorized access by other wireless networks in your location.

Assign WEP encryption keys to your soft AP or wireless LAN network. Refer to “Config-Encryption Tab” on page 83 for WEP encryption settings.

Click Next.

Keep a record of the WEP keys. Wireless clients in your network must have the same WEP keys to establish connection with the soft AP or the wireless LAN network.
