You can change the security used for Wi-Fi:
1. On a computer or wireless device that is connected to your gateway, launch a Web
browser.
2. In the address or URL field of your browser, type http://myrouter.
3. When prompted to log in, enter admin for the user name and type the password. (The
default password is password.)
4. Click Wi-Fi > Options.
5. In the list beside Encryption (for Main Wi-Fi) or Guest Encryption (for Guest Wi-Fi)
select one of the following options. Note that not all options may be available, depending
on the Connection Rate.

None: No security is used (no password is required to access the Wi-Fi network);
this setting is not recommended. Anyone may access your device and use your
Internet connection. (You are responsible for payment for data usage fees.)
 WEP 64 Bit – Open: This option provides security, but it's relatively weak. This
option works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices, and is recommended only if any of
your devices don't support WPA or WPA2.
Open WEP uses the key for encryption, but not for authentication.
 WEP 64 Bit – Shared: This option provides security, but it's relatively weak. This
option works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices, and is recommended only if any of
your devices don't support WPA or WPA2.
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication; some consider
shared WEP to be less secure than open WEP.
 WEP 128 Bit – Open: This option provides security, but it's relatively weak (but
stronger than WEP 64 Bit – Open). This option works with older and newer Wi-Fi
devices, and is recommended only if any of your devices don't support WPA or
WPA2.
Open WEP uses the key for encryption, but not for authentication.
 WEP 128 Bit – Shared: This option provides security, but it's relatively weak (but
stronger than WEP 64 Bit – Shared). This option works with older and newer Wi-Fi
devices, and is recommended only if any of your devices don't support WPA or
WPA2.
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication; some consider
shared WEP to be less secure than open WEP.
