When you receive your Connection Hub, the security type is set to
WPA2-PSK and the security type is set to AES by default. This allows
you to use the default WPA2 key located on the back of your
Connection Hub. Some older devices and Windows operating systems
prior to XP SP1 do not support WPA.
a)
To change the WPA2 key, enter a new one in the password box for
either the
Primary
or
Guest Wireless
network.
b)
To change security to the less secure WEP method, choose WEP in
the
Wireless Security Type

password in the password box for either the
Primary
or
Guest
wireless network. The characters for WEP can only be numbers 0-9
and letters A-F.
