Configuring Your Wireless Security

To set up wireless security, you can either manually configure it in the Wireless Settings screen, or you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement WPA/ WPA2 security (see “Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network” on page 2-10.

Note: If you use a wireless computer to configure wireless security settings, you will be disconnected when you click Apply. Reconfigure your wireless computer to match the new settings, or access the modem router from a wired computer to make further changes.
