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 SetupTM (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: Push and hold the WPS button located on the back of your
Router for three seconds. Then, initiate the WPS procedure on
the client device within two minutes. Refer to your client's
documentation on this procedure. Pushing the 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 shown
below. 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.
