Section 4 - Security
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 on
Wireless Setup
on the left side.
2.
Next to
Security Mode
, select Enable WEP Wireless Security (basic).
3.
Next to
Authentication
, select either Shared Key or Open.
Shared Key is recommended as it provides greater security
when WEP is enabled.
4.
Select either 64Bit or 128Bit encryption from the drop-down
menu next to
WEP Encryption
.
5.
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.

Section 4 - Security
What is WPA?
WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy).
The two major improvements over WEP:
• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys
using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t
been tampered with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead
of TKIP.
• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol
(EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specific MAC
address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key
encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric
password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must
be the exact same key entered on your wireless router or access point.
WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a
more secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces.
Make sure you enter this key exactly the same on all other wireless clients.
6.
Click

to save your settings. If you are configuring the Router with a wireless adapter, you will lose
connectivity until you enable WPA/WPA2-PSK on your adapter and enter the same passphrase as you did on the
Router.

XP users may use the built-in wireless utility (Zero Configuration Utility). The following instructions are for
Service Pack 2 users. If you are using another company’s utility or Windows
®
2000, please refer to the user manual
of your wireless adapter for help with connecting to a wireless network. Most utilities will have a “site survey” option
similar to the Windows
®
XP utility as seen below.
Right-click on the wireless computer icon in your system tray
(lower-right corner next to the time). Select
View Available
Wireless Networks
.
If you receive the
Wireless Networks Detected
bubble, click
on the center of the bubble to access the utility.
or
The utility will display any available wireless networks in your
area. Click on a network (displayed using the SSID) and click
the
Connect
button.
If you get a good signal but cannot access the Internet,
check you TCP/IP settings for your wireless adapter. Refer
to the
Networking Basics
section in this manual for more
information.
