  3. Set Enabled to On.

  4. Enter the required information, provided by the local system administrator:

    • IP address

    • Gateway

  5. To distribute IP addresses, set DHCP Server to On and enter IP range start and IP range stop.

  6. Enter a Network name (SSID).

  7. On the Security window, select Mode and choose a security mode from the list. If WPA2 Personal is chosen, enter a Security key.

  8. Select Apply.
