Field Description
WPA Pre-Shared-Key (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) uses a pre-shared key
WPA-PSK
to perform the authentication and generate the initial data encryption keys. Then, it
(TKIP), WPA2-
dynamically varies the encryption key. WPA-PSK (TKIP) implements most of the IEEE
PSK (AES)
802.11i standard and is designed to work with all wireless network interface cards, but
not all wireless access points. WPA2-PSK (AES) implements the full standard, but will
not work with some older network cards. For a full explanation of WPA, see
Communications" in Appendix
User authentication is implemented using 802.1x and RADIUS servers. For a full
WPA-802.1x,
explanation of WPA, see
WPA2-802.1x

This field is required. Enter the name or IP address of the Radius Server on your LAN.
• Radius Port
Enter the port number used for connections to the Radius Server.

How to Set Up and Test Basic Wireless Connectivity

Follow the instructions below to set up and test basic wireless connectivity. Once you have
established basic wireless connectivity, you can enable security settings appropriate to your needs.
1. Log in to the DG834G v3 firewall 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. Click the Wireless Settings link in the main menu of the DG834G v3 firewall.
3. Choose a suitable descriptive name for the wireless network name (SSID). In the SSID box,
enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The default SSID is NETGEAR.
Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure
in the 54 Mbps ADSL Modem Wireless Router Model DG834G. If they do not
match, you will not get a wireless connection to the DG834G v3.
4. Set the Region. Select the region in which the wireless interface will operate.
