Wireless-G Cable Gateway
When the SecureEasySetup process is complete, the Basic Wireless Settings screen will appear, and the
Current Encryption and Status information will be updated.
Then repeat this procedure for each additional SecureEasySetup device.
If you have non-SecureEasySetup devices to configure, then write down the Wireless Network Name (SSID)
for the Gateway. Click the Wireless Security tab. The Gateway's WPA-Personal settings will appear on the
Wireless Security screen. Write down the Passphrase for the Gateway. When you configure the wireless
settings for your non-SecureEasySetup devices, enter the Gateway's Network Name (SSID) and Passphrase
when you are asked for them.
NOTE: Some devices may call the Passphrase a Pre-Shared Key instead. They are different
names for the same key.
• Reset Security. If you want to reset the Gateway to its factory default wireless settings (SSID: linksys and
wireless security disabled), then click the Reset Security button.
After the Gateway's SSID has been reset and its security disabled, you can click the SecureEasySetup button
to configure your wireless network with a new SSID and Passphrase, or you can manually enter new settings
on the Basic Wireless Settings and Wireless Security screens.
When finished making your changes on this tab, click the Save Settings button to save these changes, or click
the Cancel Changes button to undo your changes.
Wireless Security Tab
The Wireless Security settings configure the security of your wireless network. There are six wireless security
mode options supported by the Gateway: WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise,
RADIUS, and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which is a security standard stronger than WEP
encryption. WPA2 is a stronger version of WPA. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, while RADIUS stands for
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) These are briefly discussed here. For detailed instructions on
configuring wireless security for the Gateway, turn to "Appendix B: Wireless Security." If you want to disable
wireless security, select Disabled from the drop-down menu for Security Mode.
• Wireless SSID Broadcast. When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks to associate with,
they will detect the SSID broadcast by the Gateway. To broadcast the Gateway's SSID, keep the default
setting, Enable. If you do not want to broadcast the Gateway's SSID, then select Disable.
