The SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless
network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed
32 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard).
Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your
wireless network. For added security, you should change
the default SSID (linksys) to a unique name.

the list provided to correspond with your network settings.
All devices in your wireless network must use the same

The Wireless Security settings configure the security of
your wireless network. There are six wireless security
mode options supported by the Router: WPA Personal,
WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Enterprise, RADIUS,
and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which
is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. WEP
stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, while RADIUS stands
for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) These
six are briefly discussed here. For detailed instructions
on configuring wireless security for the Router, refer to
"Chapter 2: Wireless Security. "

that each device in your wireless network MUST
use the same WPA method and shared key, or
else the network will not function properly.
Security Mode > WPA Personal
WPA Algorithm WPA supports two encryption methods,
TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption keys. Select the
type of algorithm, TKIP or AES. The default is TKIP.
WPA Shared Key
Enter a WPA Shared Key of 8-63
characters.

which instructs the Router how often it should change the
encryption keys. The default Group Key Renewal period is
3600 seconds.
