Note: The procedures to configure WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK are identical to the
procedure to configure Mixed WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK. The only difference is that
you select either the WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) or
WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 with Pre-Shared Key) radio button in
step 3.
For details about WPA-802.1x authentication options, see
page 2-12.

Configuring WEP

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security is the most basic and simplest form of wireless security.
It is the most often used, but least secure of the available options. WEP Shared Key authentication
and WEP data encryption block all but the most determined eavesdropper. This data encryption
mode has been superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.
To configure WEP data encryption:
1. Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default
user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and
password you have set up.
2. Select Wireless Settings in the main menu.
3. In the Security Options section of the screen, select WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The
WEP Security Encryption section displays.
