applications such as Network Explorer in Windows Vista might not detect the router.

automatically generated SSID and passphrase. (The passphrase is
also referred to as the wireless network password or network key).

Wireless Access Point
The router can function in access point (AP) mode instead of regular router mode. In AP
mode, the router can function as a bridge between wireless clients and another router or
gateway in your network that connects to the Internet. When the router functions in AP mode,
many router functions are disabled, but wireless clients can connect to the router. You can
still access the router to change the configuration, for example, to disable AP mode and
return to regular router mode.
 To enable and configure AP mode:
1. Select ADVANCED >
Advanced Setup > Wireless AP.
A screen similar to the following displays:
2. Select the Enable Access Point Mode check box.
The screen adjusts.
