HITRON CGNV2 USER’S GUIDE
WIRELESS
If you are using the WPS PIN security, where you have a WPS password that
you enter into each device on the network, go to the
Wireless
>
Basic
screen
and click the
PIN
button. In the screen that displays, enter the WPS PIN that you
want to use for the CGNV2, or the WPS PIN of the client device you want to add
to the network.
If you are using WEP, go to the
Wireless
>
Security
screen. Use the
WEP
Settings
section to define the key(s) you want to use. Click
Apply
when you
have finished.
If you are using WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, go to the
Wireless
>
Security
screen. In the
WPA_Personal
section, enter the new password in the
Pre-
Shared Key
field. Click
Apply
when you have finished.
Whichever security method you are using, when you change the password on the
CGNV2, the other devices will not be able to connect to the network until you change
their passwords as well.
The way in which you change the password on the client devices differs according to
manufacturer and model. In general, you will need to log in to the device’s
configuration utility and perform a similar procedure to the one you just performed on
the CGNV2, unless you are using the WPS PBC method, in which case you must
press the button within two minutes of pressing the button on the CGNV2.
NOTE:
If you are using WPS PBC, bear in mind that any device that also supports
WPS can connect to the CGNV2 during the connection period. It is therefore
not an ideal method to use in public places, or if you suspect someone is
attempting to gain unauthorized access to the network.

CHANGING THE NETWORK NAME (SSID)
To change your wireless network’s SSID (the name that displays when you scan for
wireless networks on your wireless client), go to the
Wireless
>
Basic
screen. Enter
the new network name in the
SSID Name
field and click
Apply
.
NOTE:
Since the SSID is required to connect to a network, you will need to re-
connect your wireless client devices to the new SSID.
6.2.4
HIDING THE NETWORK
There are various reasons that you might not want your network to be visible to
people scanning for available networks. To do this, go to the
Wireless
>
Basic
screen. Select the
Hidden
checkbox and click
Apply
.
