IMPORTANT:
Make sure your wireless computers are updated to work
with WPA2 and have the correct settings to get proper connection to
the Router.
Setting WPA Security
Note:
To use WPA security, your wireless network cards must be
equipped with software that supports WPA. At the time this User Manual
was published, a security patch from Microsoft is available for free
download. This patch works only with Windows XP.
Your Router supports WPA-Personal (PSK), which uses what is known
as a pre-shared key (PSK) as the security key. A pre-shared key is
basically a password that is between eight and 63 characters long. It
can be a combination of letters, numbers, or characters. Each client
uses the same key to access the network. Typically this is the mode
that will be used in a home environment.

Setting WPA-PSK
1.
From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select “WPA/WPA-Personal
(PSK)”.
2.
For “Encryption Technique”, select “TKIP” or “AES”. This setting
will have to be identical on the clients that you set up.
3.
Enter your pre-shared key. This can be from eight to 63
characters and can be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same
key must be used on all of the clients that you set up.
4.
Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients to
match these settings.

Setting WEP Encryption
Note to Mac users:
The “Passphrase” option will not operate with
Apple
®
AirPort
®
. To configure encryption for your Mac computer, set the
encryption using the manual method described in the next section.
1.
Select “128-bit WEP” or “64-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu.
2.
After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter you
WEP key manually by typing in the hex WEP key manually, or
you can type a passphrase in the “PassPhrase” field and click
“Generate” to create a WEP key from the passphrase. Click
“Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all of your clients to
match these settings.
3.
Encryption in the Router is now set. Each of your computers on
your wireless network will now need to be configured with the
same passphrase. Refer to the documentation of your wireless
network adapter for information on making this change.

Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
Using a Hexadecimal Key
A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F
and 0–9. 64-bit keys are 10 digits long and can be divided into five
two-digit numbers. 128-bit keys are 26 digits long and can be divided
into 13 two-digit numbers.
For instance:
AF 0F 4B C3 D4
= 64-bit key
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7
= 128-bit key
In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters
between A–F and 0–9. You will use this key to program the encryption
settings on your Router and your wireless computers.
Note to Mac users:
Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit
encryption only. Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or 128-bit
encryption. Please check your product to see which version you are
using. If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit encryption,
try 64-bit encryption.

Using the Access Point Mode
Note:
This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users
only. The Router can be configured to work as a wireless network
access point. Using this mode will defeat the NAT IP sharing feature
and DHCP server. In Access Point (AP) mode, the Router will need to
be configured with an IP address that is in the same subnet as the
rest of the network that you will bridge to. The default IP address
is 192.168.2.254 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These can be
customized for your need.
1.
Enable the AP mode my selecting “Enable” in the “Use as Access
Point only” page. When you select this option, you will be able to
change the IP settings.
2.
Set your IP settings to match your network. Click
“Apply Changes”.
3.
Connect a cable from the “Modem” port on the Router to your
existing network.
The Router is now acting as an access point. To access the Router’s
Web-Based Advanced User Interface again, type the IP address
you specified into your browser’s navigation bar. You can set the
encryption settings, MAC address filtering, SSID, and
channel normally.
