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
DWR-116 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 802.11 standard and uses the RC4 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. 128-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 on
.Wireless.
Settings
on the left side.
2. Next to

.
3. Next to

4. Select either
64-bit
or
128-bit
encryption from the drop-down box next to
WEP Encryption
.
5. Next to
Key Type
, select either
Hex
or
ASCII
.
Hex (recommended) - Letters A-F and numbers 0-9 are valid.
ASCII - All numbers and letters are valid.
6. Next to
Key 1
, enter a WEP key that you create. Make sure you enter this key exactly on all your wireless devices. You may enter up to 4 different
keys.
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
WEP on your adapter and enter the same WEP key as you did on the router.
