piece of hardware for identification. Some ISPs will require
you to register a MAC address in order to access the
Internet. If you do not wish to re-register the MAC address
with your ISP, you may assign the MAC address you have
currently registered with your ISP to the Router with the
MAC Address Clone feature.

Dynamic Routing
RIP
This feature enables the Router to automatically
adjust to physical changes in the network’s layout and

Router determines the network packets’ route based on
the fewest number of hops between the source and the
destination. This feature is
D±sabled
by default.
Static Routing
Select Route Entry number
To set up a static route
between the Router and another network, select a

Wireless > Wireless Security
The Wireless Security settings configure the security of
your wireless network. There are six wireless security
mode options supported by the Router: WPA Personal,
WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Enterprise, RADIUS,
and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which
is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. WEP
stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, while RADIUS stands
for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) These
six are briefly discussed here. For detailed instructions
on configuring wireless security for the Router, refer to
“Chapter 2: Wireless Security.”
Wireless Security
Security Mode
Select the security method for your wireless network. If
you do not want to use wireless security, keep the default,

WPA Personal
NOTE:
If you are using WPA or WPA2, always
remember that each device in your wireless
network MUST use the same WPA or WPA2
method and shared key, or else the network will
not function properly.
