indicates ”X”.
Select “Automatically

ease the connection in the
future.
If the network requires encryption, select “Use encryption” and then press
<Enter> on the next line to open the selection. Usually the network
authentication requires a password and therefore the network encryption is
WPA 1/2 (Passphrase). Enter the password for the wireless network.
Save the settings by pressing <F10>. Note that the encryption of the wireless
network can be something else than “WPA 1/2 (Passphrase)”
After the successful
connection, network’s name
turns green on the list.
If the automatic connection doesn’t work for some reason, it is possible to
initiate the connection by pressing <shift> + <C> (there’s a couple seconds
delay in the software). The status of the connection appears at the bottom of
the window. While selecting the network, the first column shows the strength
of the signal in percentage (max signal strength is 100%). If the signal
strength is low, relocating the Gateway may improve the connection strength.
