Changing Wireless Security; Saving And Reloading Settings - Manhattan 525695 User Manual

4.3.5 Changing wireless security
First, you need to log in to the Web admin UI of the wireless range extender. See Section 4.1.
For maximum security, we recommend using WPA2 – AES encryption. Activating the less secure "TKIP" instead of "AES", or
"WPA" instead of "WPA2," should only be done if older wireless clients experience difficulties connecting to the wireless
network. WEP should really only be used if you have legacy equipment that's so old it won't even support WPA encryption.
Note: Keep in mind that the Wireless AC750 Dual‐Band Range Extender is equipped with two wireless radios, so you need to
make sure that both the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz (AC) are secured.
4.3.6 Saving and reloading settings
Your Manhattan Wireless AC750 Dual‐Band Range Extender
allows you to save the configuration to a file that you can reload
at a later time. This can come in handy if you had performed a
hardware reset and don't want to manually re‐enter all of the
previous settings. To get started, click "Save/Reload Settings."
You have two choices here. First, you can save all the current settings to a file (click "Save ..."); second, you can load a
previously saved file from your computer's HDD (click "Browser," select the file, then click "Upload").

If you want to change the wireless
encryption settings, you can easily do
that by going to the basic wireless
settings. Here you have access to the
various encryption methods (WEP,
WPA and WPA2), the different cipher
types (TKIP or AES) and the wireless
key itself, called pre‐shared key.
