How Do I Configure the Wireless Home Gateway?
Configuring Your Wireless Network Security and Encryption
Parameters
Use the Setup Wireless - Security page to configure your WAP wireless equivalent
privacy (WEP) encryption keys and authentication and to add other wireless devices
to your network.
Note:
If you are not familiar with the advanced settings detailed in this section,
contact your service provider before you attempt to change any of the wireless home
gateway default wireless security settings.
Click
Security
in the Wireless section of the Setup page to access the Setup Wireless -
Security page.
Important:
Your wireless home gateway ships from the factory with WPA-TKIP
security enabled to provide you with a
basic
level of wireless network security. To
gain initial access to your wireless network, select WPA security on your computer's
wireless adapter and enter the WPA key to match the key setup in your gateway.
The factory default WPA key in the gateway is the serial number of the device.
You can continue to use this factory default key. However, to maximize your
wireless security, it is highly recommended that you use something other than the
factory default key.
Using WiFi Protected Setup (WPS)
WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to easily attach wireless devices that also
support WPS. When WPS is enabled and activated, you can attach other wireless
clients with the press of a button or by entering the station PIN.
After enabling WPS, you can activate the automatic registration by clicking the
Start
WPS
button in the WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) section of the Setup Wireless –
Security page.
The push button mode of client registration can be enabled directly by clicking on
the “soft” button on the setup webpage.
