Wireless Configuration Window (Default)
6.
The “Wireless Security Configuration” window allows you to set the wireless security level you wish
to use. All wireless devices attached to the gateway
MUST
have the same wireless security settings
for your network to have proper communications and security. If you own the 6200 series gateway,
the “Wireless Security Configuration” window does not appear.
From the “Security Mode” drop-
down, select one of the following options:
•
WEP 64-bits
: (Wireless Equivalency Privacy): WEP security offers the same security offered by
a wired LAN with encrypted packets.
This option offers 64-bit encryption, which is the least
secure WEP option.
Please see the section in this document titled
Wireless Setup WEP 64-Bit
Option (Advanced Home Networking)
for more information.
•
WEP 128-bits
: (Wireless Equivalency Privacy): WEP security offers the same security offered
by a wired LAN with encrypted packets.
This option offers 128-bit encryption, which is a most
secure WEP option.
Please see the section in this document titled
Wireless Setup WEP 128-Bit
Option (Advanced Home Networking)
for more information.
•
WPA PSK
: (Wi-Fi Protected Access) WPA security changes encryption keys after a specified
amount of time.
This is the most secure option for wireless networks. Please see the section in
this document titled
Wireless Setup WPA PSK Option (Advanced Home Networking)
for more
information.

Wireless Setup WEP 64-Bit Option (Advanced Home Networking)
WEP security offers the same security offered by a wired LAN with encrypted packets.
This option
offers 64-bit encryption, which is the least secure WEP option. This section assumes you currently have
the “Wireless Security Configuration” window displayed.
To use the WEP 64-bit option:
1.
Select the WEP 64-bits option from the “Security Mode” drop-down.
2.
Optionally
, select the “Enable SSID Broadcast” option if you wish if you wish for wireless users to
see the existence of your wireless router with the associated SSID. This could cause a security
problem if outside users can determine your channel and encryption. Disabling the SSID broadcast
prevents outside users from seeing the existence of your wireless router.

The “Wireless 64-bit WEP Configuration” window allows you to configure the security for the 64-bit
WEP option. Select one of the following options:
•
Open System
: Open system keys are always authenticated at the device level.
After
authentication, data is then encrypted between the gateway and the connected device.
This is the
weakest form of security and should not be used for sensitive data.
•
Shared Key
: Shared keys accept a string of unencrypted data from a device. The gateway
encrypts with a WEP key and sends back the encrypted data to the attached device.
8.
Type a phrase in the “Passphrase” box.
The passphrase is used to generate the 64-bit key.
The
passphrase must at least be one character with a maximum of 32 characters.
