TIP: Other wireless networks might be within range of your network. Your neighbors,
for instance, may be within range. If you are having trouble connecting, try setting a
different channel to see if that improves performance. You should try setting a channel
that is 5 more than what you are using. By default, the Wireless-N Router is set to 10.
You may want to try channel 6 or 1, for instance, if you have trouble connecting with
the default channel (10).
Wireless Security Settings
If you accepted the default to Enable the Wireless Module (on the Wireless Settings page
at Step 4), the following page opens when you click Next.
Configuring Authentication and Encryption
By default, Authentication and Encryption security services are not configured. You can
configure both settings on the Wireless settings page.
1 To configure Authentication, select either Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or
WiFi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) from the
dropdown menu.
Important: Be aware that WEP is a basic authentication service and is not as
secure as WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. If you have devices on your wireless network that
support only WEP (for example, some gaming consoles), you will need to select
WEP as your Authentication method.
