The Wireless Tab - Wireless Security
The Wireless Security settings configure the security of your wireless network. There are three wireless security
mode options supported by the Router: WPA Pre-Shared Key, WPA RADIUS, and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi
Protected Access, which is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent
Privacy, while RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) These three are briefly discussed
here. For detailed instructions on configuring wireless security for the Router, proceed to “Appendix B: Wireless
Security.”
WPA Pre-Shared Key
. WPA gives you one encryption method, TKIP, with dynamic encryption keys. Select
TKIP
from the
WPA Algorithm
drop-down menu. Enter a WPA Shared Key of 8-32 characters. Then enter the Group
Key Renewal period, which instructs the Router how often it should change the encryption keys.
When you have finished making changes on this screen, click the
Save Settings
button to save the changes, or
click the
Cancel Changes
button to undo your changes. Help information is shown on the right-hand side of a
screen. For additional information, click
