3 Click Wireless on the top menu.
4 The Wireless Radio page appears. Under Select 2.4 or 5 GHz option. Select 2.4 GHz
if your existing wireless network used 802.11n 2.4GHz. If your existing network used
802.11n 5GHz or you just want to change the SSID for the 5 GHz network select 5
GHz. Click Apply.
5 To change the wireless security, start by setting all the following drop-down menus to
Disable: WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, and WPA2-PSK.
6 Then select Enable for the mode(s) you choose for setting wireless security.
Note: To use WPA2 /WPA, all of the wireless devices on your network must support
either encryption method. In this case, enable:
o WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK (if you want to use a Pre-Shared Key)
or
o WPA and WPA2 (use this only if your network uses a Radius Server. This
is very uncommon for a home network)
If you know that all your devices support the more secure WPA2 you can enable
WPA2 only (or WPA2-PSK if you want to use a Pre-Shared Key) instead of WPA and
WPA2.
7 In the WPA Pre-Shared Key text box (only if you selected an option requiring a
Pre-Shared Key), enter a passphrase of your choice (a minimum of 8 characters).
Write down this passphrase and put it where you can find it – on the bottom of the
Cable Modem/Router case, for instance.
8 Click Apply.
9 Now you need to set up each of your wireless devices with the SSID and passphrase
See
Chapter 3, Connecting other Devices to the Cable Modem/Router
connecting your wireless computers and devices.
Your security setup configuration is now complete!

Setting Up Security Using WEP

WEP is an older wireless security standard that has been shown to be easily defeated.
Because of this, the use of WEP has been phased out of use by the wireless industry and
should only be used if any when one of your network devices DOES NOT support WPA
or WPA2. WEP can be configured two ways: 64-bit and 128-bit. 128-bit WEP provides
more security than 64-bit.
