If you are connected to a hybrid Powerline
router that also broadcasts Wi-Fi, you will
see that router’s network name (SSID) here.
When you are browsing for available wireless
networks, this is the name that will appear
in the list. You can choose to extend the
same network that your hybrid router is
broadcasting (listed above) for convenient
whole-home access. As you walk from one
area of coverage to another, your device will
detect the stronger signal and automatically
keep you connected. You may also put the
DHP-W310AV on a dierent network.
WPA/WPA2 is more secure than WEP. WEP
should only be used if you have older devices
that are unable to use WPA. Use of TKIP/AES
security framework provides the optimum
mix of security and compatibility. Please refer
to Wireless Basics on page 49 for more
information.
Choose a password that is strong. A good
password uses both letters and numbers in unpredictable places. Example bad passwords could be password or 12345678.
