While we configure the Cloakbox™ to support wireless, for security reasons, we disable it by default. To enable wireless on your Cloakbox™, follow these simple instructions:

1. Log into your Cloakbox™. When your Cloakbox™ was shipped, you should have received a welcome email from WiTopia. Contained in that letter is the IP address you need to enter into your browser, as well as the Username and Password to use to log into the Cloakbox™.

2. After logging in, on the left side of the screen, click on “Basic” and then “Network”. This should bring you to the "Basic Settings" screen as shown below. (Please note that the values in this diagram are for example purposes ONLY and will NOT always match your configuration. These example values should NOT be used on your Cloakbox™ unless they are already identical.

3. Click the “Enable Wireless” checkbox to enable Wireless. You can now proceed to the Wireless Security settings (highly recommended) below this section.

4. For the Cloakbox™, we recommend you use either WPA Pre-Shared Key or WPA2 Pre-Shared Key Only, you can fall back to basic WEP or Disable security altogether, but we HIGHLY DISCOURAGE that.

5. You need to enter a password to use to secure your wireless network, then you will need to use this password on every wireless computer that wants to access the network.

6. That's it. Once you have configured your Cloakbox™, you will need to configure your wireless devices similarly to use them with it.
