N300 Wireless Dual Band ADSL2+ Modem Router DGND3300v2 User Manual
Note:
NETGEAR recommends WPA2 security because it is the strongest,
and WPA security as the next strongest. WEP security is the
weakest of these alternatives, but you might need to use WEP
security to be able to link with your older wireless devices.
To configure WEP data encryption:
1.
Log in to the N300 wireless modem router at its default LAN address of
http://192.168.0.1
or
http://www.routerlogin.com
with its default user name of
admin
,
and default password of
password
, or using whatever user name, password, and LAN
address you have chosen for the N300 wireless modem router.
2.
From the main menu, select
Wireless Settings
to display the Wireless Settings screen.
3.
In the Security Options section, select the
WEP
radio button:
Figure 10.
4.
In the Authentication Type list, select
Automatic
,
Open System
, or
Shared Key
. The
default is Open System.
Note:
The authentication scheme is separate from the data encryption.
You can select an authentication scheme that requires a shared key
but still leaves the data transmissions unencrypted. If you require
strong security, use both the Shared Key and WEP encryption
settings.
5.
Select the Encryption Strength setting:
•
WEP 64 bit
. Enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, a–f, or
A–F).
•
WEP 128 bit
. Enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, a–f, or A–F).
