Chapter 3 Using the Configuration Utility

Channel

Channel assigns the frequency band at which the Extender communicates. In

the United States, use channels 1-11, or select Smart Select, which automati-

cally selects a minimally used channel. (The factory default value is set to Smart

Select.)

Wireless Mode

From this drop-down list, select the speed of the wireless network to be created.

Options include 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11 Super G static, and 802.11 Super G

dynamic.

Security

From this drop-down list, select the type of security to be applied to the wireless

network. Options include Disabled, WEP 64 bits, WEP 128 bits, WEP 152 bits,

WPA-PSK, and WPA.

Disabled

Selecting this security option applies no security to the wireless network. Any

user with a wireless-equipped computer will be able to join the network

WEP 64 bits

Selecting this security option applies 64-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

security on the wireless network. 64-bit WEP requires a key composed of 10

hexadecimal digits or 5 ASCII characters. A hexadecimal digit consists of an

alphanumeric character ranging from 0-9 or A-F; an ASCII character can be

any character on the keyboard. To create a 64-bit WEP key, select “Hex” (hexa-

decimal) or “ASCII,” then enter ten hexadecimal digits or 5 ASCII characters in

the “WEP Key 1” text box. After activating 64-bit WEP, a computer with wire-

less capability can join the network only if these same keys are entered in the

computer’s wireless encryption scheme.
