– Not a security protocol. WPS is an easier way to add and securely configure WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) new clients to your WLAN. By default, Privacy is set to WiFi Protected Access (WPA-PSK) with a 12-character security key. WPS allows you to securely share your exact security configuration with a new client that you are adding to the WLAN, without needing to look up and type this security key. - Page 46 Administrator’s Handbook WEP-Manual You can provide a level of data security by enabling WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) for encryption of network data. You can enable 40- or 128-bit WEP Encryption (depending on the capability of your client wireless card) for IP traffic on your LAN. NOTE: WEP is a less current and less secure authentication method than WPA-PSK.

However, in some cases it may be useful to switch to a different channel (1 through 11, for North America) on which the network will broadcast. -
Page 49: Subnets & Dhcp
The server configuration determines the functionality of your DHCP settings. This functionality enables the NVG599 to assign your LAN computer(s) a “private” IP address and other parameters that allow network communication. This feature simplifies network administration because the NVG599 maintains a list of IP address assignments. -
Page 50: Ip Allocation
IP address for a client device. When IP allocation is enabled for a client, that device is assigned a pre-determined IP address by the DHCP server of the NVG599. IP allocation lets you set up client devices as common DHCP systems, but ensures that they always receive the same IP address from the gateway.

Questions and answers
i have aruba wireless acess point and has worked well to 2 days ago now i get a message that it canot obtain a ip there is one assigned to it but can not get it to authorize
To resolve the issue of your Arris NVG599 not allowing your Aruba wireless access point to obtain an IP address, follow these steps:
1. Check Connections: Make sure all cables between the NVG599 and the Aruba access point are properly connected and secure.
2. Service Activation: Ensure your AT&T Internet service has been activated. Do not attempt setup before 2pm on your service activation date.
3. Restart Devices: Restart both the NVG599 router and the Aruba access point.
4. Check DHCP Settings: Ensure the NVG599 is set to assign IP addresses through DHCP and that the Aruba device is set to obtain an IP address automatically.
5. Disable WPS (if needed): If WPS is enabled and not supported by the Aruba access point, disable it and manually configure the wireless settings.
6. Security Settings: Make sure the wireless security settings on the NVG599 (e.g., WPA-PSK) are compatible with the Aruba access point.
7. Firmware Update: Check if the NVG599 has the latest firmware. Outdated firmware may cause connectivity issues.
If the problem persists, consider testing the Aruba access point on a different network to confirm it is functioning properly.
