7. From the Authentication Type menu, select one of the following types:
• Automatic. Clients can use either Open System or Shared Key authentication.
• Shared Key. Clients can use only Shared Key authentication.
8. From the Encryption Strength menu, select the encryption key size:
• 64-bit. Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64-bit encryption.
• 128-bit. Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128-bit encryption. This selection provides higher
encryption security.
9. Specify the active key by selecting the Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, or Key 4 radio button.
Only one key can be the active key. To join the router's WiFi network, a user must enter the key value
for the key that you specified as the active key.
10. Enter a value for the key:
• For 64-bit WEP, enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, A–F). The key values are not
case-sensitive.
• For 128-bit WEP, enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, A–F). The key values are
not case-sensitive.
11. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
12. Make sure that you can reconnect over WiFi to the network with its new security settings.
If you cannot connect over WiFi, check the following:
• If your computer or mobile device is already connected to another WiFi network in your area,
disconnect it from that WiFi network and connect it to the WiFi network that the router provides.
Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first open network without WiFi security that they
discover.
• If your computer or mobile device is trying to connect to your network with its old settings (before
you changed the settings), update the WiFi network selection in your computer or mobile device to
match the current settings for your network.
• Does your computer or mobile device display as an attached device? (See
on the Network on page 168.) If it does, it is connected to the network.
• Are you using the correct WiFi network name (SSID) and password?

Configure WPA/WPA2 Enterprise WiFi Security

Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is an enterprise-level method for centralized
Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) management. To enable the router to provide WPA
and WPA2 enterprise WiFi security, the WiFi network that the router provides must be able to access a
RADIUS server.
Tip If you want to change the WiFi settings of the router's main network, use a wired connection
to avoid being disconnected when the new WiFi settings take effect.
