Wi-Fi Protected Setup
After you choose Wi-Fi Protected Setup for the Wireless Configuration, the
instructions, fields, and buttons appear on the screen. Three setup methods are
available.
NOTE
Wi-Fi Protected Setup is available for your primary wireless network
(SSID1) only. To configure your second wireless network (SSID2),
select Manual. If you are unable to configure the second wireless
network, contact your service provider for more information (these
settings may be controlled by your service provider).
-
Method #1:
To configure a client device that has a Wi-Fi Protected
Setup button, click or press the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the
client device. Then click the button shown on the screen. After the client
device has been configured, click OK. Then refer to your client device or
its documentation for further instructions. Repeat for any additional
devices that you need to configure.
-
Method #2:
To configure a client device that has a Wi-Fi Protected
Setup PIN number, enter the PIN number in the
field on this screen. Click
Register. After the client device has been configured, click OK. Then
refer to your client device or its documentation for further instructions.
Repeat for any additional devices that you need to configure.
-
Method #3:
If your client device asks for the PIN number of the WRP400,
enter the PIN number that is shown on the screen. This number also
appears on the label on the bottom of the WRP400. After the client
device has been configured, click OK. Then refer to your client device or
its documentation for further instructions. Repeat for any additional
devices that you need to configure.

Wireless > Wireless Security
You can use the Wireless Security page to configure the security of your wireless
network(s). The WRP400 supports the following wireless security mode options:
WPA Personal, WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Enterprise, and WEP.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an older security standard. WPA (Wi-Fi
Protected Access) is a newer security standard that is stronger than WEP
encryption. A network encrypted with WPA/WPA2 is more secure than a network
encrypted with WEP, because WPA/WPA2 uses dynamic key encryption. To
protect the information as it passes over the airwaves, you should enable the
highest level of encryption supported by your network equipment.
These options are briefly discussed here. For additional guidelines, refer to
Chapter 2, “Before You Begin: Understanding Wireless Security.”
NOTE
If you used Wi-Fi Protected Setup to configure your wireless network(s), then
wireless security has already been set up for your primary wireless network. Do
not make changes to the Wireless Security screen for your primary wireless
network.
NOTE
After you enter settings on this page, click Save Settings to apply your changes, or
click Cancel Changes to cancel your changes.
Select the SSID that you want to configure. Then choose the Security Mode. If you
do not want to use wireless security, keep the default, Disabled.

NOTE
If you enabled the second wireless network on the Basic Wireless Settings screen,
you will need to set up wireless security for each SSID.
Depending on the selected Security Mode, additional fields appear.
WEP
WEP is a basic encryption method, which is not as secure as WPA

•
Encryption:
Select a level of WEP encryption, 64 bits 10 hex digits or 28
bits 26 hex digits. The default is 64 bits 10 hex digits.
•
Passphrase:
Enter a Passphrase to automatically generate WEP keys. Then
click Generate.
•
Key 1-4:
If you did not enter a Passphrase, enter the WEP key(s) manually.
•
TX Key:

WPA Personal
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a security mode that uses a shared key to restrict
access to authorized users.
NOTE
If you are using WPA, always remember that each device in your wireless network
MUST use the same WPA method and shared key, or else the network will not
function properly.
Figure 27
Wireless Security > WPA Personal
•
WPA Algorithms:
WPA supports two encryption methods, TKIP and AES,
with dynamic encryption keys. Select the type of algorithm, TKIP or AES.
The default is TKIP.
•
WPA Shared Key:
Enter a WPA Shared Key of 8-63 characters.
•
Group Key Renewal:
Enter a Group Key Renewal period, which instructs
the WRP400 how often it should change the encryption keys. The default is
3600 seconds.
