Using the Setup Wizard - For Wireless LAN connections:

1.

Click the

Enable AP

box to allow the router to operate in the wireless environment.

the default SSID is changed, all other devices on the wireless network must use the same SSID.

3.

The wireless

Channel

number is available from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). What channels are

available for use by the access point depends on the local regulatory environment. Remember that all devices

communicating with the device must use the same channel (and use the same SSID). Use the drop-down

menu to select the channel used for your 802.11g wireless LAN.

4.

The default

Security

setting is AirStation OneTouch Secure System (AOSS). AOSS automatically detects

and configures other AOSS enabled wireless devices and clients and seamlessly negotiates the most secure

connection possible between your wireless devices. The other two Security options are WEP and WPA.

Wireless Security

The WBMR-G54 offers two main types of network security:

WEP

and

WPA

.

WEP

WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol)

encryption can be enabled for security and privacy. WEP encrypts the data

portion of each frame transmitted from the wireless adapter using one of the predefined keys. The router offers 64-,

128-, or 256-bit encryption with four keys available.

To bring up the

Wireless Settings

window for WEP, click the

WEP

radio button.

Wireless Settings window – WEP

1.

Make sure the Enable AP checkbox at the top of the window has been ticked.

2.

From the drop-down menu, select an Authentication Type:

Open

,

Shared

, or

Both

.

3.

Select a key by clicking a radio button on the left, select an encryption level from the drop-down menu on the

right, and then enter the proper-length key. (Key length is outlined at the bottom of the window.)

4.

Click

Apply

.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

Wi-Fi Protected Access was designed to provide improved data encryption, perceived as weak in WEP, and to provide

user authentication, largely nonexistent in WEP.

For most small networks, such as in a small business or home-based enterprise, WPA is the easiest way to obtain

effective network security.

Wireless Settings window – WPA

Enter the appropriate parameters for the type of key selected from this window:

•

Group Key Interval

:

The time (in seconds) after which the Group Key is changed automatically (

1

-

99999

).

•

PSK String String:

This

Pre-Shared Key is an alphanumeric value of 1-63 characters in length

When you are finished, click

Apply

.

Notice

If encryption of any kind, at any level is applied to the Router, all devices on the

network must comply with all security measures.
