Configuring WEP Wireless Security
To configure WEP data encryption:
1.
Log in to the wireless router at its default LAN address of
with
its default user name of
admin
, and default password of
password
, or using whatever
password and LAN address you have chosen for the wireless router.
2.
From the main menu, select
Wireless Settings
to display the Wireless Settings screen.
•
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise.
Allow computers configured with either
WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK security to connect to the wireless
router. When you select this option, this additional area appears
on your screen:
Security Options (WPA/WPA2 Enterprise)
•
WPA Mode
. Select the WPA Mode from the drop-down
list (WPA [TKIP], WPA2 [AES], or WPA [TKIP + WPA2
[AES]).
•
RADIUS server IP Address
. Enter the IP address of the
RADIUS server.
•
RADIUS server Port
. The RADIUS server port number is
listed in this field.
•
RADIUS server Shared Secret
.
Enter the Shared
Secret.
Note:
If you use a wireless computer to configure wireless security settings, you will be
disconnected when you click
Apply
. Reconfigure your wireless computer to match
the new settings, or access the wireless router from a wired computer to make
further changes.
Note:
On this screen, you specify wireless settings for both wireless networks: the 2.4
GHz and the 5 GHz.

3.
Set the Security Options for the 2.4 GHz network first by selecting the
WEP
radio button in
the Security Options section:
4.
Select the
Authentication Type
:
Automatic
or
Shared Key
.
5.
Select the
Encryption Strength
setting:
•
WEP 64-bit encryption
. Enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, a–f, or
A–F).
•
WEP 128-bit encryption
. Enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, a–f, or
A–F).
6.
Enter the encryption keys. You can manually or automatically program the four data
encryption keys. These values must be identical on all computers and access points in your
network:
Figure 2-3
Note:
The authentication scheme is separate from the data encryption. You can select
an automatic authentication scheme, which may not run authentication, but still
leaves the data transmissions encrypted. If you require strong security, use both
the Shared Key and WEP encryption settings.

–
Passphrase
. To use a passphrase to generate the keys, enter a passphrase, and click
Generate
. This automatically creates the keys. Wireless stations must use the passphrase
or keys to access the wireless router.
–
Key 1 – Key 4
. These values are
not
case-sensitive. You can manually enter the four data
encryption keys. These values must be identical on all computers and access points in your
network. Enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, a–f, or A–F).
7.
Select which of the four keys will be the default.
Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key. The other keys can be used
only to decrypt received data. The four entries are disabled if WPA-PSK or WPA
authentication is selected.
8.
Specify the wireless setting for the 5 GHz wireless network the same as you did for the 2.4
GHz wireless network.

to save your settings.
Configuring WPA, WPA2, or WPA/WPA2 Wireless Security
To set up wireless security, you can either manually configure it in the Wireless Settings screen, or
you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement WPA/
WPA2 security (see
“Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network” on
page 2-13
.
Both WPA and WPA2 provide strong data security. WPA with TKIP is a software implementation
that can be used on Windows systems with Service Pack 2 or later. NETGEAR recommends using
WPA2 with AES, which provides the strongest security. WPA2 with AES is a hardware
implementation; see your device documentation before implementing it. Consult the product
documentation for your wireless adapter for instructions for configuring WPA settings.
Note:
Not all wireless adapters support passphrase key generation.
Note:
If you use a wireless computer to configure wireless security settings, you will be
disconnected when you click Apply. If this happens, reconfigure your wireless
computer to match the new settings, or access the wireless router from a wired
computer to make further changes.

Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless
Network
If your wireless clients support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can use this feature to configure
the wireless router’s SSID and security settings and, at the same time, connect the wireless client
securely and easily to the wireless router. Look for the
symbol on your client device
(computers that will connect wirelessly to the wireless router are clients). WPS automatically
configures the network name (SSID) and wireless security settings for the wireless router (if the
wireless router is in its default state) and broadcasts these settings to the wireless client.
Some considerations regarding WPS are:
•
WPS supports these types of wireless security: None, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WEP (with
the authentication type set to
Automatic
on the Wireless Settings screen). WEP security with
shared key authentication is not supported by WPS.
•
If your wireless network will include a combination of WPS capable devices and non-WPS
capable devices, NETGEAR suggests that you set up your wireless network and security
settings manually first, and use WPS only for adding additional WPS capable devices. See
“Adding Both WPS and Non-WPS Clients” on page 2-18
.
A WPS client can be added using the Push Button method or the PIN method.
•
Using the Push Button
. This is the preferred method. See the following section,
“Using a
WPS Button to Add a WPS Client” on page 2-14
.
•
Entering a PIN
. For information about using the PIN method, see
“Using PIN Entry to Add a
WPS Client” on page 2-15
.
Note:
NETGEAR’s Push 'N' Connect feature is based on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup
(WPS) standard (for more information, see
). All other Wi-Fi-
certified and WPS-capable products should be compatible with NETGEAR
products that implement Push 'N' Connect.
