WPA Pre-shared Key

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use

a pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during

communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key

frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to be cracked by hackers. This is

the best security available.

WPA-Radius

Wi-Fi Protected Access (

WPA

) is an advanced security standard. You can use

an external RADIUS server to authenticate wireless stations and provide the

session key to encrypt data during communication. It uses

TKIP

or CCMP

(

AES

) to change the encryption key frequently. Press

Apply

button when you

are done.

WPS

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to establish a connection

between the wireless clients and the wireless router. You don’t have to select

the encryption mode and fill in a long encryption passphrase every time when

you try to setup a wireless connection. You only need to press a button on

both wireless client and wireless router, and WPS will do the rest for you.

The wireless router supports two types of WPS: WPS via Push Button and

WPS via PIN code. If you want to use the Push Button, you have to push a

specific button on the wireless client or in the utility of the wireless client to

start the WPS mode, and switch the wireless router to WPS mode. You can

simply push the WPS button of the wireless router, or click the ‘Start to

Process’ button in the web configuration interface. If you want to use the PIN

code, you have to know the PIN code of the wireless client and switch it to

WPS mode, then fill-in the PIN code of the wireless client through the web

configuration interface of the wireless router.

WPS

Check the box to enable WPS function and uncheck it to disable the

WPS function.

Firewall Settings

The Broadband router provides extensive firewall protection by restricting

connection parameters, thus limiting the risk of hacker attacks, and defending

against a wide array of common Internet attacks. However, for applications that

require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific

client/server as a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).

Note

: To enable the Firewall settings select Enable and click Apply
