Configuring Your Wireless Security Settings
To protect your wireless network from unauthorized access, you
need to configure its security settings.

or
http://sprint.router
2. From the login screen, enter the default user name (
admin
)
and password (
admin
), then click
OK
. The Wi-Fi Connect’s
Web User Interface launches.
3. From the Network Map screen, use the
System status
panel
to configure your wireless security settings such as SSID,
security level, and encryption settings.
NOTE:
You can set up different wireless security settings for
2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.

field.

method for your wireless network.
IMPORTANT!
The IEEE 802.11n/ac standard prohibits using
High Throughput with WEP or WPA-TKIP as the unicast cipher. If
you use these encryption methods, your data rate will drop to
IEEE 802.11g 54Mbps connection.
