This feature provides basic prioritization of data packets to support voice and video applications. STEP 4 From the drop-down list, choose the Wireless Channel to be used by the wireless network devices.

NOTE During the initial configuration, ignore the Wireless LAN Schedule section of this page. Later, if needed, you can configure a schedule to enable or disable each wireless network during specified days and times. STEP 5 When you are finished entering the wireless network settings, click Save to apply the changes. Securing the Wireless Network STEP 1 To choose the security options for your network, click Wireless > Wireless Security in the navigation tree. STEP 2 From the Select SSID drop-down list, choose the SSID that you want to configure. You will need to repeat this procedure for each SSID that you enabled on the Basic Wireless Settings page.

Choose from the following options: • WEP: Weak security with a basic encryption method that is not as secure as WPA. WEP may be required if your network devices do not support WPA.
