Wireless settings and security
We always recommend entering these settings with a computer connected to the Sweex Breedband Router through a cable. This is because you will
lose the wireless connection with the Sweex Breedband Router while storing these settings.
Left in the column, click “Wireless".
The default SSID is “Sweex LW055”. We recommend not changing this so you can always recognise the router. Here you can also find other options
such as “Channel” and “Radio Mode”. We again recommend maintaining the default values. You can enable or disable the wireless part under
“Disabled Wireless”. This feature is enabled by default.
Securing the wireless part
Complete the following steps for setting WEP security:
1. Click the tab “Security”.
2. Under “Authentication Type” select “WEP”.
3. Under “Key Length” select “64bit”.
4. Under “Key 1”, enter the network key. In our example we use network key “1020304050”. When using 64-bit encryption you can create your
own 10-digit code, 128 bits require 26 digits.
5. Click “Apply” to save the settings.
6. Wait 15 seconds and click “Save” in the top right corner. A small window appears. Confirm by clicking “OK”.
The router is now secured. Reconnect your wireless computer. Note! You need the same “Key” in order to connect.

4. Click “Apply” to save the settings.
5. Wait 15 seconds and click “Save” in the top right corner. A small window appears. Confirm by clicking “OK”.
The router is now secured. Reconnect your wireless computer. Note! You need the same “WPA(2) Pass Phrase” in order to connect.
Opening ports in the router (Forwarding and DMZ)
The built-in firewall in this router cannot be disabled. However, ports can be opened for programmes and games which require this.
We recommend using a fixed IP address for computers for which ports are opened. This is to ensure that these computers always use the same IP
address as registered in the router. The router may assign a different IP address to the computer so that the forwarding or DMZ command no longer
applies to that computer.
The port settings can be changed by clicking “NAT” left in the column.
