For WEP security, “Open/None” means that the wireless network does
not perform any authentication. “Shared” means that the wireless network
uses a key entered on both the Gateway and the router to authenticate
each network packet.
For WPA security, only “Pre-Shared Key (PSK)” can be selected, which
ensures that each network packet is authenticated.
Encryption Mode.
Configures the level of encryption used on the
wireless network. Set this value to be the same as your existing home
network.
For WEP security, you can select the encryption strength of either “64
bits” or “128 bits,” where “128 bits” provides a stronger encryption.
For WPA security, only “TKIP” can be selected, which ensures that the
encryption dynamically changes keys to provide stronger encryption.
Key Type.
Configures the type of the key for either a user-readable
passphrase or hexadecimal (“Hex”) numbers. Set this value to be the
same as your existing home network. The default setting is “Hex,” which
may not match the key type required by your router. For example, Linksys
routers require a passphrase when WPA/TKIP security is selected.
Encryption Key.
Configures the encryption key used in the wireless
network. Set this value to be the same as your existing home network.
Enter the key as hexadecimal numbers if the Hex Key Type was selected
above. Enter the key as a string of characters if the Passphrase Key Type
was selected above. A passphrase of more than 20 characters is
recommended. Spaces and punctuation characters are permitted.
Configuring Network Time
You can configure the Gateway to use a network time protocol (NTP)
server on the Internet. Network time read from the Internet is very
accurate.
Universal Coordinated Time (UTC, sometimes referred to as Greenwich
Mean Time or GMT) is the default time provided by NTP servers. When
using an NTP server, you must enter a Time Zone Offset to shift UTC to
your local time.
Important:
Setting an incorrect Network Name (SSID), security mode, or
encryption key causes the Gateway to lose its connection with the network. If the
Gateway has lost its connection in this manner, it must be reset to factory default
settings.
