This is an indicator of which band you are actively
configuring, both radios are enabled automatically.
MAC ID
Displays the MAC Address of the DVW32CB.

Network Name (SSID)
Defines the primary network name (SSID) to which client
devices connect. It displays either the default SSID or the
user defined SSID. This example shows the settings when
the modem is in the 2.4GHz band.
-- For the 2.4GHz radio (shown above), the default SSID is
“WIFI” plus the last 6 characters of the CM MAC address
with the letters in UPPER case.
-- For the 5GHz radio, the default SSID is “WIFI” plus the
last 6 characters of the WLAN MAC address with the
letters in UPPER case, plus “-5G”.
Broadcast SSID
When On is selected, the SSID is visible to wireless clients. If
Off is selected, the SSID is not visible to wireless clients
unless manually set up on the client. Broadcast SSID is On
by default to allow broadcasting of the primary network name
(SSID). Refer to
Enabling a Closed Network on the Primary
Network on page 80
to set up a closed network.
NOTE:
WPS must be disabled before Broadcast SSID can be
disabled.
Wireless Mode
Allows you to define the 802.11 wireless networking
standard(s).
2.4GHz band options are: Mixed (11b/g/n), and 11n only.
The default is Mixed (11b/g/n).
5GHz band options are: Mixed (11a/n/ac), Mixed (11n/ac)
and 11ac only. The default is Mixed (11a/n/ac).
WPA
Enables or disables the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
security protocol. WPA is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i
standard. Key differences between WPA and WEP are user
authentication and improved data encryption. Setting WPA
alone with a pre-shared key requires a RADIUS or TACACS
server for authentication. This method is mostly used in large
enterprise implementations.
WPA-PSK
Enables or disables WPA Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK). If you
do not have an external RADIUS server, use WPA-PSK,
which requires a single (identical) password entered into
wireless gateway and wireless client. As long as the
passwords match, a client is granted access to the wireless
LAN.
WPA2
Enables or disables WPA2. This advanced protocol is
certified through Wi-Fi Alliance's WPA2 program and
implements the mandatory elements of 802.11i. In particular,
it has an AES-based algorithm (CCMP) that is considered
fully secure. Setting WPA2 alone with a pre-shared key
requires a RADIUS or TACACS server for authentication.
This method is mostly used in large enterprise
implementations.

WPA2-PSK
Enables or disables WPA2-PSK. If you do not have an
external RADIUS server, use WPA2-PSK, which requires a
single (identical) password entered into wireless gateway and
wireless client. As long as the passwords match, a client is
granted access to the wireless LAN. This is the default
residential subscriber setting. It is more secure than WPA-
PSK and uses AES encryption.
WPA/WPA2 Encryption
Sets WPA/WPA2 encryption to AES or TKIP+AES. The
default is AES.
WPA Pre-Shared Key
Displays the WPA Pre-Shared Key when “Show Key” is
checked. The WPA pre-shared key is a unique key for each
device. It is a randomly generated character string, 16
characters in length, and can also be found on the device
label.
The encryption mechanisms for WPA and WPA-PSK are the
same, except that WPA-PSK uses a simple common
password instead of user-specific credentials.
Show Key
Displays the pre-shared key when checked.
RADIUS Server
Defines the IP address of the RADIUS server, if used.
RADIUS Port
Defines a RADIUS port number when WPA or 802.1x network
authentication is selected.
RADIUS Key
Defines the RADIUS Key when WPA or 802.1x network
authentication is selected.
Group Key Rotation Interval
Allows the device to generate the best possible random
group key and update all the key-management capable
stations periodically. This field is set to 0 by default.
WPA/WPA2 Re-auth Interval
Sends a new group key to all clients at the specified interval
for a wireless router (if using WPA-PSK key management) or
RADIUS server (if using WPA key management). The re-
keying process is the WPA equivalent of automatically
changing the WEP key for a wireless access point and all
stations in the WLAN on a periodic basis. Setting the WPA
Group Key Update Timer is also supported in WPA-PSK
mode.
WEP Encryption
Enables or disables WEP encryption. If you do not have
wireless clients that can use WPA or WPA2, you can use WEP
key encrypting. A higher bit key offers better security. WEP
encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless
stations and the DVW32CB to keep network communications
private. It encrypts unicast and multicast communications in a
network. Both the wireless stations and the DVW32CB must use
the same WEP key. Data Encryption can be set to WEP
128-
bit, 64-bit,
or
Disable.
Shared Key Authentication
Defines Shared Key Authentication as optional or required.
Shared Key is an authentication method used by wireless
LANs, which follow the IEEE 802.11 standard. Wireless
devices authenticate each other by using a secret key that is
kept by both devices.

Enabling a Closed Network on the Primary Network
You can enable a Closed Network so the SSID cannot be broadcast or seen by others.
802.1x Authentication
Enables or disables 802.1x to authenticate wireless clients.
Network Key 1-4
Pre-defines up to 4 keys for 64-bit or 128-bit (64-bit keys
require 10 hexadecimal digits) (128-bit key require 26
hexadecimal digits).
Current Network Key
Selects one of the four pre-defined keys as the current

Sets the WEP encryption key by entering a word or group of
printable characters in the Passphrase box and clicking
Generate WEP keys. These characters are case sensitive.
