Wireless and Wireless Security Setup
Your 3G Wireless-N Router's default (factory) settings provide no wireless network
security. If you don't want unauthorized wireless access to your network, we
recommend that you enable wireless network security. To do this, you'll need to
configure the router and each device on your network for the level of security that you
want.
Before setting up wireless security you must decide which method to use.
•
Use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) when all of your devices support WPS
security. WPS is easy to configure. Please refer to
for details.
•
Use Wireless Distribution System (WDS) if you want wireless point-to-point
and point-to-multipoint bridging for deployment of a large area. With WDS,
you can easily extend the range of your wireless network. Please refer to
WDS Configuration
•
If you want security without using WPS or WDS, you should probably use
the Setup Wizard as described in Chapter 3.
•
A manual setup option is also available. Please refer to
Security Manually

WPS Configuration

You can automatically configure WPS security using the router's built-in WPS
configuration program on each client device that is part of your wireless network.

Configuration Methods

WPS offers three configuration methods. Choose the method that is compatible with
the hardware and software options available on your router and client device.
Note: WPS configures one client device at a time. Please repeat the configuration
method for each client on your wireless network that supports WPS security.

Method One

Use this method if your router and client devices have a WPS button. This button can
be either a physical button on the unit or a software button in its application.
