ASUS Wireless Router

Chapter 3 - Software Configuration

To set up your wireless interface,
you must first give it an SSID
(Service Set Identifier). The SSID
is a unique identifier attached to
packets sent over WLANs. This
identifier emulates a password
when a wireless device attempts
communication on the WLAN.
Because an SSID distinguishes
WLANs from each other, access
points and wireless devices trying
to connect to a WLAN must use the
same SSID.

Also, if you want to protect

transmitted data, select a middle or high Security Level.

Middle: allows only those users with the same WEP key to connect to this
access point and to transmit data using 128-bit WEP encryption.

High: allows only those users with the same WPA pre-shared key to connect
to this access point and to transmit data using TKIP encryption.

Click Finish to continue. You are prompted to save the settings. Click
Save&Restart to save the settings to the ASUS Wireless Router and enable
the new settings.
