Profile Data

Enter the desired settings for each of the following:

Profile Name

Enter a suitable name for this profile.

 

 

SSID

Enter the desired SSID. Each profile must have a unique SSID.

 

 

Wireless Band

Select the wireless band or bands for this profile. If your Wireless

 

Access Point only has a single band, then only 1 option is available.

 

 

Security System

Select the desired option, and then enter the settings for the selected method. The available options are:

None - No security is used. Anyone using the correct SSID can connect to your network.

WEP - The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before transmission, but the encryption system is not very strong.

WPA-PSK- Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be used if possible. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each Wireless station. The 256Bit encryption key is derived from the PSK, and changes frequently.
