Section 4 - Security
Wireless Security
This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DIR-868L 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)
What is WPA?
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).
The 2 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.

Section 4 - Security
WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)
It is recommended to enable wireless security on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish
wireless connectivity before enabling encryption.
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
Setup
and
then click
Wireless Settings
on the left side.
2. Next to
Security Mode
, select
WPA-Personal
.
3. Next to
WPA Mode
, select
Auto
,
WPA2 Only
, or
WPA Only
. Use
Auto
if you have wireless clients using both WPA and WPA2.
4. Next to
Cypher Type
, select
TKIP and AES
,
TKIP
, or
AES
.
5. Next to
Group Key Update Interval
, enter the amount of time before
the group key used for broadcast and multicast data is changed (3600
is default).
6. Next to
Pre-Shared Key
, enter a key (passphrase). The key is entered as
a pass-phrase in ASCII format at both ends of the wireless connection. The pass-phrase must be between 8-63 characters.
7. Click
Save Settings
to save your settings. If you are configuring the router with a wireless adapter, you will lose connectivity
until you enable WPA-PSK on your adapter and enter the same passphrase as you did on the router.
