Changing the Wireless security settings
Your Enhanced Wireless Router is equipped with the latest security
standard called Wi-Fi Protected Access
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
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 on page 44) 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 front 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 screen illustrated below�
Enter the client's PIN into the Router's internal registrar (accessed through
this screen)� The client will be automatically enrolled into your wireless
network within two minutes�
