By default, the TG-1 Gateway secures your wireless data with WPA2-PSK encryption.This is the most
secure encryption type that is currently available.
The wireless key used to encrypt the data is a unique sequence of ten random characters. You can find
your wireless key on the bottom label of your TG-1 Gateway.
If you want to make changes to the security settings, see
“3.4 Changing the wireless security settings” on
page 24 .
Devices like tablets, smart TVs and smartphones usually have a built-in wireless client. Check the
documentation of your device for more information.
