In the Security Mode menu, choose

WPA

or

WPA-Enterprise

unless you

have wireless equipment that does not support WPA; in that case, choose

(more secure) or

64-bit WEP

(more compatible with older

wireless equipment).

The WTM652 displays a screen to allow you to conﬁgure the chosen mode.

The following screens show WPA and 128-bit WEP screens.

Conﬁguring Wi-ﬁ Protected Setup (WPS)

Wi-ﬁ Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard method for easily conﬁguring a secure

connection between your WTM652 and computers or other wiﬁ-capable devices

(known as

enrollees

). Follow these steps to use WPS to connect to the WTM652.

1

Click the Wireless Setup link in the navigation menu, then click Wi-Fi Pro-

tected Setup.

The Wi-Fi Protected Setup window appears.

2.

Check the

WPS Enable

box in the WTM652 screen.

3

Use the appropriate connection method as described below:

a.

If your client device has a “Wi-Fi Protected Setup” button

: Press the but-

ton on the client device, then click the Simple Push Button button on the

WTM652 screen.. When the client indicates that it has conﬁgured suc-

cessfully, click the

Save

button in the WTM652 screen and refer to your

client device documentation for further instructions.

b.

If your client device has a WPS PIN number

: Check the

WPS Enable

box in the WTM652 screen, and enter the client’s PIN in the Enrollee PIN

ﬁeld on the WTM652 screen.

c.

If your client device asks for the router’s PIN number

: Enter the WTM652

PIN. The PIN can be found on the WPS screen (

AP Active PIN

) or on a

sticker on the back of the WTM652.

4.

If the connection is successful, the

Secure

indicator stops ﬂashing and re-

mains lit. Otherwise, the

Secure

light continues to ﬂash for up to two min-

utes (indicating that it is ready to accept a client connection) then turns off.

If the

Secure

light turns off, start again at step 1.

Note

: When WPS is enabled, the WTM652 displays the status, network

name, security type, encryption type, and passphrase at the bottom of the

WPS screen. If your client does not support WPS, use these settings to man-

ually conﬁgure the client.

You have completed the basic conﬁguration steps. Unless your cable operator re-

quires additional conﬁguration, which would be described in the information packet,

you should now be able to access the Internet. If you want to further customize

your conﬁguration, proceed as follows:

•

Conﬁguring the Firewall

•

Conﬁguring DDNS

•

Conﬁguring Wireless Bridging

Conﬁguring the Firewall

The WTM652 provides a

ﬁrewall

to protect the computers on your home network

from unwanted access. The ﬁrewall provides the following features:

•

Virtual Server Support: if you have a server on your home network that you

want to make available to the general Internet, you can conﬁgure a virtual

server. The ﬁrewall passes requests from the Internet to the designated

computer on your home network.

•

Client ﬁlters: you can use client ﬁlters to block computers on your network

from accessing the Internet (or certain services) during speciﬁc days and

times.

•

MAC Address ﬁltering: allows access to the wireless network only by com-

puters speciﬁcally authorized to connect.

•

Ping blocking: ignores ICMP (Ping) requests from the Internet.

Proceed to the next page to begin conﬁguring the ﬁrewall.
