Security Wizard: Set Admin Password
An Admin Password is not required, but is recommended to prevent unauthorized tampering with the
router's settings if others have access to your network. Only those who know the password will be
allowed to change settings (see page 34 for important information on password use).
NOTE: Be sure to write down your password and store it in a secure place. If you forget your password,
you will not have access to any settings until you reset the router to factory programmed default settings.
Enter your password twice. Symbols will
replace your key strokes on the screen. The
password can be up to 15 characters (letters,
numbers, spaces and other punctuation marks).
The password is case sensitive (i.e., "cat" and
"Cat" are not the same).
Click Next to display the WEP Encryption
screen.
NOTE: If you create an Admin Password, you
may be asked to enter your User Name
(Admin) and re-enter your password. To log in,
you must enter Admin in the User Name field
(see page 34).
Set WEP Encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) helps protect your privacy by scrambling data that passes through your
network.
WEP: Click On to activate WEP encryption.
WEP encryption: Select encryption strength
from the drop down menu. Larger numbers will
make your system more secure, but may result
in slower data transfer.
Security Phrase: Enter a security phrase in the
last text box. (You can use letters, numbers,
spaces, and punctuation marks. You cannot
enter more than five characters for 64-bit, 13
characters for 128-bit, or 29 characters for
256-bit encryption.)
Click Next to display the Security Setup
Completed screen.
CAUTION: All WEP settings must be identical in all wireless network devices. WEP Security
Phrase must match the WEP settings used in your all wireless adapters (may be called Security
Phrase, Ascii/Hex Key or other term).
