6. Choose the type of encryption from the list.
Notice:
The very secure WPA2 encryption is the default setting.
Suggestion:
WPA and WPA2 use dynamic keys based on the protocol TKIP (Temporal
Key Integration Protocol) or AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), and provides
highest security. We suggest choosing WPA2 as encryption, if this is supported by all
components of your home network. Every network capable device that is to access
the WPA-2 protected wireless home network has to support WPA2. In the
instruction manual of the respective device you will find the information about
whether you can use the WPA2 encryption.
Notice:
If you want to connect network capable devices in your wireless home
network, which do not support the encryption types WPA or WPA2, you can set the
encryption type to WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).
7. If you want to change the WLAN key, enter the new WLAN key in the entry field
.
Notice:
When you save the changes, the radio connection is interrupted that long,
until you have the changes implemented in the settings of your network capable
device.
8. When you have modified your settings, please confirm the changes by clicking the
tab
. If you do not want to save your changes, click on the tab

6.1.2 WLAN time rule
With the timer of the Wireless home network you have the possibility to administer
your WLAN with timer activation. The option
always switched on
on the WLAN,
stays active and available all the time and it is the default one. Beside that you have
the possibility to activate WLAN in a defined time window or on a certain weekday.
Notice:
Active WLAN connections will, after time window expiry, not be interrupted
but cannot be rebuilt outside of the time window.

6.1.3 Send settings
In the menu
Send settings
you can define the transmission performance, the
transmission mode, the speed and the channel of your Wireless network.
Transmission performance.
Here you can set the transmission performance, with which your Speedport
communicates with other network capable devices in the Wireless home network. If
your network capable devices are placed nearby your Speedport you can reduce the
transmission performance. You can change the range of your Wireless network as
follows:
• Full transmission performance = maximum range (100 % transmission
performance).
• Middle transmission performance = middle range (31 %-60 % transmission
performance).
• Low transmission performance = low range (15 %-30 % transmission performance).

your Speedport shall operate.
Suggestion:
We suggest choosing the

so that the range is
modified to the spatial conditions in which the home network is established. High
transmission performances facilitate unauthorized access to your Wireless data
transmission.
Transmission mode.
The transmission mode states, which standard should be used for the transmission
of data. If one of your network capable devices does not support the transmission
modes of the standard settings or have difficulties with the transmission, you can
change the transmission mode here.
• 802.11b: max. 11 Mbit/s
• 802.11g: max. 54 Mbit/s
• 802.11n: max. 300 Mbit/s

Normally Speedport chooses the best radio channel for the transmission. Yet you can
choose the radio channel by yourself. But please notice, that, between your radio
channel in use and the used radio channel in your environment, at least four
channels have to remain unused. With this way you can use your wireless home
network without interference. Please also notice that the radio channels 12 and 13
are not supported by all network capable devices.
Notice:
You can modify the settings separately for both frequency bands.
1. Click on

4. Choose depending on the frequency band the transmission mode form the
respective list.
5. Set the hook at 2.4-GHz frequency band at
max. 300 Mbit/s
, if you want to
increase the maximum transmission speed to 300 Mbit/s.
Suggestion:
While using the 2.4-GHz frequency band you can increase the speed of
your Wireless home network to max. 300 Mbit/s. Your Speedport will increase the
usable channel width from 20 MHz to 40 MHz. If interferences do not allow this
option, an automatic reduction to the normal channel width of 20 MHz will follow.
6. Choose the radio channel from the list, in which the transmission for the home
network is to be carried out. We suggest to choose
