In the Options section, click the arrow to open the Channel list, then click
the channel number (1 - 11) you want. We recommend that you leave the

that channel. Select an unused channel if that is the case.

If you want to configure WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) security for your
wireless network:
a
Click Configure WEP. The Wireless - WEP Data Encryption window
opens.
b
Click the arrow to open the WEP Data Encryption list, then click 64-bit
or 128-bit encryption (Disable is the default). The higher level offers
more security but may slow network speed.
c
Click the arrow to open the Authentication Type list, then click the type
of authentication you want to use (Automatic is the default). If you
select a different type of authentication, make sure that the rest of your
network uses the same setting.
Important WEP must be configured exactly the same for all wireless
stations on your entire local wireless network. Wireless
stations with different settings will be unable to
communicate with the rest of the network.
