Configuring Your Wireless Security

To set up wireless security, you can either manually configure it in the Wireless Settings screen, or
you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement WPA/
WPA2 security (see "Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network" on
page 2-10.
Note: If you use a wireless computer to configure wireless security settings, you will be
disconnected when you click Apply. Reconfigure your wireless computer to match
the new settings, or access the modem router from a wired computer to make
further changes.
