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.
