Home Network Wizard Page

Path:

Gateway > Wizard

The Home Network Wizard is a 2-page wizard for configuring your home network. If you are a new or

novice user, we recommend you use the wizard to configure the Gateway’s basic settings. The wizard

is the first page that appears when you log in to the Web management interface.

Figure 31 shows the first page of the wizard and Table 11 describes the options. When you complete

the first page, click

NEXT STEP

to display the second page (see Figure 32 and Table 12).

User Name

Enter the user name used to log in to the Web management interface. The user name is case sensitive and

can contain from 8 to 20 alphanumeric characters, but no spaces or special characters.

Current Password

Enter the current case-sensitive password used to log in to the Web management interface. For security

purposes, every typed character is masked with a dot (



). The default password is not shown for security

purposes. The password is case sensitive and can contain from 8 to 32 characters, but no spaces or special

characters.

New Password

Enter the new case-sensitive password you want to use. The password can contain from 8 to 32

alphanumeric characters, but no spaces or special characters. Spaces count as password characters. For

security purposes, every typed character is masked with a dot (

Radio Mode Selection

Select whether the home network will use the Gateway’s 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz wireless network. The default WiFi network

name changes based on your selection.

Enter WiFi Network Name

Accept or change the name for your wireless network (typically, this is the network’s SSID). The WiFi network name will

make it more obvious for other devices to know the network to which they are connecting.

Encryption Method

To prevent other computers in the area from using your Internet connection, secure your wireless network by selecting

an encryption method from this drop-down list. There are several selections available, including the following. (

Risky

appears next to selections that provide little or no protection.)

•

OPEN = wireless transmissions are not protected.

•

WEP = basic encryption and therefore least secure (i.e., it can be easily cracked, but is compatible with a wide range

of devices including older hardware). WEP 64- and 128-bit selections are provided.

•

WPA–PERSONAL–TKIP (TKIP) = a Wi-Fi standard that is stronger than WEP encryption. This selection uses

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption to provide protection against hackers. If you use WPA, each

device in your wireless network must use the same WPA method and network password, or the network will not work

properly.

•

WPA2-PERSONAL = several versions are provided. Some use TKIP encryption, while others use Advanced

Encryption System (AES), which utilizes a symmetric 128-bit block data encryption. WPA2 Personal is stronger than

WPA encryption. Each device in your wireless network must use the same WPA method and network password, or

the network will not work properly.

•

WPA-ENTERPRISE = this option uses WPA and should be used with a RADIUS server connected to the Gateway.

Each device in your wireless network must use the same WPA method and network password, or the network will not

work properly. This setting requires a RADIUS server to be connected to the Gateway.

•

WPA2-ENTERPRISE = this option uses WPA2 and should be used with a RADIUS server connected to the Gateway.

WPA2-ENTERPRISE supports two encryption methods, TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption keys. Select the

type of algorithm, AES or TKIP. Each device in your wireless network must use the same WPA method and network

password, or the network will not work properly. This setting requires a RADIUS server to be connected to the

Gateway.

•

WPA-WPA2-ENTERPRISE = allows your devices to connect using the strongest security option they support, WPA

or WPA2. Each device in your wireless network must use the same WPA method and network password, or the

network will not work properly. This setting requires a RADIUS server to be connected to the Gateway.

Enter Network Password

If you select one of the WEP, WPA, or WPA2 encryption settings, enter the case-sensitive password used for encryption

and decryption. For security, each typed password character is masked as a dot (

•

). If you specify a hexadecimal

password, use the letters A to F and numbers 0 to 9.

•

WEP 64 requires a 5 ASCII character or 10 hexadecimal character password.

•

WEP 128: requires a 13 ASCII character or 16 hexadecimal character password.

•

The remaining encryption methods require at least an 8 ASCI character or a 64 hexadecimal character password.
