Network Name (SSID): This is the name that uniquely identifies your wireless
network. You may want to change the SSID if:
You want to use your own preferred name.
Another wireless network operating in your area has already been using the
default name.
Channel: The default frequency channel is “6”. It is recommended that you keep
this setting unless you experience interference with other wireless networks using
the same frequency channel.
(Note: For best performance, use a channel that is at least 5 channels away from the
other wireless networks, e.g. if other wireless networks are operating at channel 11,
then set your router’s channel to channel 6 or below.)
Security Mode: To protect your wireless network, select either “WEP 64-Bit (10
HEX characters)” or “WEP 128-Bit (26 HEX characters)”. Select “None” if you
want to disable the protection.
Default Transmit Key: If you have enabled WEP protection on your wireless
network, select the WEP key you want to use for authentication and data encryption.
WEP Key (1-4): WEP key is the security key used for authentication and data
encryption. You can enter up to 4 WEP keys, and which WEP key to use depends
on the setting of “Default Transmit Key”. Enter 10 HEX characters if you have
enabled WEP 64-bit protection, or enter 26 HEX characters if you have enabled
WEP 128-bit protection on your wireless network.
(Note: HEX characters are from 0-9, A-F or a-f)
4.2.3 LAN
4.2.3.1 LAN Settings
IP Address: The IP address assigned to the router as seen from your local network.
The default setting is “192.168.0.1”. It is recommended that you keep this setting
unless there is a clash of IP addresses on your network.
Subnet Mask: The default subnet mask is “255.255.255.0” and you shouldn’t need
to change this.
