Section ² - Security
Wireless Security
This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The
DIR-300 offers the following types of security:
• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)
• WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
• WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
What is WEP?
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is based on the IEEE 80±.11 standard and uses the RC² encryption algorithm. WEP
provides security by encrypting data over your wireless network so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one wireless device
to another.
To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using WEP, you
must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 1±8-bit encryption requires a longer
key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII
(American Standard Code for Information Interchange – alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can
enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be defined
so that you can change keys easily.

Configure WEP
It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish
wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to the added
overhead.
1.
Log into the web-based configuration by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1).
Click

is recommended as it provides greater security when WEP is
enabled.
4.
Select either

next to
WEP Encryption
.
5.
Next to
Next to
Default Key Type
, select
WEP Key 1
and enter a WEP key that
you create. Make sure you enter this key exactly on all your wireless
devices. You may enter up to four different keys either using
Hex
or
ASCII
.
Hex
is recommended (letters A-F and numbers 0-9 are valid). In
ASCII
all numbers and letters are valid.
6.
Click
Save Settings
to save your settings. If you are configuring the
router with a wireless adapter, you will lose connectivity until you enable WEP on your adapter and enter the same WEP key
as you did on the router.
