Using the Wireless Network Wizard
User Guide 73
Using the Wireless Network Wizard
The Wireless Network Wizard is a tool that you use to automatically
configure your wireless network.
Setting up the Wireless Access Point
WatchGuard is concerned about the security of your network so the
wireless feature of the Firebox X Edge Wireless is disabed until you
are ready to use it. Activate the wireless feature when you configure
the security of the wireless connections.
1 Type the IP address of the trusted network in your browser
window to connect to the System Status page of the Firebox X
Edge Wireless.
The default IP address is: https://192.168.111.1
1 From the navigation bar, select
Network > Wireless (802.11g).
The Wireless Network Configuration page appears.
2 From the Encryption drop-down list, select Disabled.
3 From the Authentication drop-down list, select Open System.
4 Record the number that appears in the SSID text box of the
Basic Settings for later use.
The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the identification number of the
wireless device. The SSID is used to create the wireless connection. The
default SSID is the 5-digit serial number for your Firebox X Edge
Wireless.
5 Click Submit.
