Wireless Station Configuration

This section applies to all Wireless stations wishing to use the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router's Access Point, regardless of the operating system which is used on the client.

To use the Wireless Access Point in the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router, each Wireless Station must have compatible settings, as follows:

Mode

SSID (ESSID)

Wireless

Security

The mode must be set to Infrastructure (rather than Ad-hoc) Access points only operate in Infrastructure mode.

This must match the value used on the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Mo- dem Router. The default value is Wireless.

Note! The SSID is case sensitive.

By default, Wireless security on the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router is disabled.

•If Wireless security remains disabled on the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router, all stations must have wireless se- curity disabled.

•If Wireless security is enabled on the Wireless Router (either WEP or WPA-PSK), each station must use the same settings as the Wireless ADLS Router.
