2 Wireless Settings
2.1 Wireless Basic Settings
If you want to create a WLAN for sharing Internet connection, simply click Wireless-> Wireless Basic Settings. Change the SSID, you can
name it whatever you like. For example, select 2437MHz (channel 6) and leave other options unchanged and then click OK.
 SSID: This is the public name of your wireless network. The default is Foscam_XXXXXX. XXXXXX is the last six characters in the
device's MAC address. It is recommended that you change it for better security and identification.
 Channel: Select a channel that is the least used by neighboring networks from the drop-down list or Auto. Channels 1, 6 and 11 are
recommended.
 OK: Click to save your settings.
2.2 Wireless Security
Wireless Security Setup
This section allows you to secure your wireless network and block unauthorized accesses and malicious packet sniffing. To encrypt your wireless
network, do as follows:
1. Select the wireless network (SSID) you wish to encrypt.
2. Disable WPS. (WPS is enabled on the router by default. If you want to use other security modes, you must first disable the WPS.)
3. Select a proper security mode and cipher type (also known as WPA Algorithm or WPA Encryption Type). WPA-PSK and AES are
recommended by system default (5 security modes are available for your selection. Among them, WPA-PSK outstands with greater
compatibility and security. For more information of other security modes, see appendix 2). Specify a security key that includes at least 8
characters.
4. Click OK to complete your settings.
