Edimax BR-6258n Wi-Fi Instructions - Page 4

Step 3 Setup wireless security for local wifi network with BR-6258n. Go to General Setup. Go to Wireless. Wireless Settings shows the default ESSID is "Edimax". ESSID is the wireless network name to identify your own WiFi network. You can change it to any ID you preferred. Click on Apply. We set new ESSID as "EdimaxNanoRouter". Click on Apply. Click on Advanced Settings. Select the Channel bandwidth as Auto 20/40 MHz. Click on Apply Click on Continue. Click on Security Settings. The default encryption is "Disabled" which means there is no encryption in the BR-6258n wireless network. We suggest select WPA pre-shared key with WPA2 AES option. However, if you have any WiFi device which does not support WPA2 AES, you could use WPA TKIP or WEP as your encryption. Enter your own password. For WPA pre-share key, the password needs to be at least 8 characters (or digits). Click on Apply. Choose Apply button than Continue since we have done entire configuration. Nano router saves the settings and reboots. Wait for 60 seconds. Click on OK button after 60 seconds. Continue Step 4 if you use Ethernet cable to connect with BR-6258n. Continue Step 5 if you use wireless connection to connect with BR6258n. 3
