Changing the Wireless security settings
Your Router is equipped with the latest security standard called Wi-Fi
Protected Access 2 (WPA2) and the legacy security standard called
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)� Your Router also supports the Wi-Fi
Protected Setup (WPS) specification, which simplifies the setup of a
wireless network� WPS uses familiar methodologies, such as typing in
a Personal Identification Number (PIN) or pushing a button, to enable
users to automatically configure network names and strong WPA/WPA2
data encryption and authentication� By default, wireless security is
disabled� To enable security, you will need to determine which standard
you want to use� To access the security settings, click "Security" on the
"Wireless" tab�

Using Wi-fi Protected setup

WPS uses WPA2 (described below) for encryption� It does not provide
additional security, but rather, standardizes the method for securing your
wireless network� You may use either the Push Button Configuration
(PBC) method or PIN method to allow a device access to your wireless
network� Conceptually, the two methods work as follows:
PBC: Click the "Start PBC" button located on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup
page� Then, initiate the WPS procedure on the client device within
two minutes� Refer to your client's documentation on this procedure�
Clicking the "Start PBC" button will automatically enable WPS� The
client has now been securely added to your wireless network�
PIN: The client device has a PIN number (either four or eight digits) that
is associated with WPS� Enable WPS through the GUI� Enter the client's
PIN into the Router's internal registrar (accessed through this GUI)� The
client will be automatically enrolled into your wireless network within
two minutes�
