Note:
The authentication is separate from the data encryption. You can
select authentication that requires a shared key but still leaves data
transmissions unencrypted. Security is stronger if you use both the
Shared Key and WEP encryption settings.
5.
Select the Encryption Strength setting:
•
64-bit
. Enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, a–f, or A–F).
•
128-bit
. Enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, a–f, or A–F).
6.
Enter the encryption keys. You can manually or automatically program the four data
encryption keys. These values must be identical on all computers and access points in your
network:
•
Passphrase
. To use a passphrase to generate the keys, enter a passphrase, and
click
Generate
. This procedure automatically creates the keys. Wireless stations
must use the passphrase or keys to access the router.
Note:
Not all wireless adapters support passphrase key generation.
•
Key 1
–
Key4
. These values are
not
case-sensitive. You can manually enter the four
data encryption keys. These values must be identical on all computers and access
points in your network. Enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0
–
9, a
–
f, or
A
–
F).
7.
Select which of the four keys is the default.
Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key. The other keys can be
used only to decrypt received data. The four entries are disabled when WPA-PSK or WPA
authentication is selected.

Use Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless
Network
To use Push 'N' Connect, your wireless computers or devices must support Wi-Fi Protected
Setup (WPS). Compatible equipment usually has the
WPS symbol on it. WPS can
configure the network name (SSID) and set up WPA/WPA2 wireless security for the router
and the wireless computer or device at the same time.
WPS considerations:
•
The Push 'N' Connect feature is based on the WPS standard. All other Wi-Fi-certified and
WPS-capable products should be compatible with products that implement Push 'N'
Connect.

•
If your wireless network includes a combination of WPS-capable devices and
non-WPS-capable devices, Verizon suggests that you set up your wireless network and
security settings manually first, and use WPS only for adding WPS-capable devices.
WPS Button
Any wireless computer or wireless adapter that connects to the router wirelessly is a client.
The client must support a WPS button, and must have a WPS configuration utility.
To use the router WPS button to add a WPS client:
1.
Log in to the router as described in
Log In to Your Router
on page 17.
2.
On the main menu, select
Wi-Fi Settings > Add WPS Client
. The following screen
displays:
3.
Click
Next
. The following screen displays:
By default, the
Push Button (recommended)
radio button is selected.
4.
Either click the onscreen button (
) or press the
WPS
button on the front of the router.
The router tries to communicate with the client (the computer that wants to join the
network) for 2 minutes.
5.
Go to the client wireless computer, and run a WPS configuration utility. Follow the utility’s
instructions to click a WPS button.
6.
Go back to the router screen to check for a message.

The router WPS screen displays a message confirming that the client was added to the
wireless network. The router generates an SSID and implements WPA/WPA2 wireless
security. The router keeps these wireless settings unless you change them, or you clear
the
Keep Existing Wi-Fi Settings
check box in the Advanced Wi-Fi Settings screen (see
Advanced Wi-Fi Settings
on page 61).
7.
Note the new SSID and WPA/WPA2 password for the wireless network. You can view these
settings in the Wi-Fi Settings screen. See
Manually Configure Your Wireless Settings
on
page 32.
To access the Internet from any computer connected to your router, launch a browser. You
should see the router’s Internet Port LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP.
Note:
If no WPS-capable client devices are located during the 2-minute
time frame, the SSID does not change, and no security is set up.
WPS PIN Entry
Any wireless computer or device that connects to the router wirelessly is a client. The client
must support a WPS PIN, and must have a WPS configuration utility.
The first time you add a WPS client, make sure that the
Keep Existing Wi-Fi Settings
check
box on the Advanced Wi-Fi Settings screen is cleared (see
Advanced Wi-Fi Settings
on
page 61). This setting is the default setting for the router and allows it to generate the SSID
and WPA/WPA2 security settings when it implements WPS. After WPS is implemented, the
router automatically selects this check box so that your SSID and wireless security settings
stay the same if other WPS devices are added later.
To use a PIN to add a WPS client:
1.
Log in to the router as described in
Log In to Your Router
on page 17.
2.
On the main menu, select
Wi-Fi Settings > Add WPS Client
. The following screen
displays:

3.
Click
Next
and select the
PIN Number
radio button. The following screen displays.
4.
Go to the client wireless computer. Run a WPS configuration utility. Follow the utility’s
instructions to generate a PIN. Take note of the client PIN.
5.
In the router Add WPS Client screen, enter the client PIN number and click
Next
.
•
The router tries to communicate with the client for 4 minutes. If no WPS clients
connect during this time, the router wireless settings do not change.
•
The router WPS screen confirms that the client was added to the wireless network.
The router generates an SSID and implements WPA/WPA2 wireless security.
6.
Note the new SSID and WPA/WPA2 password for the wireless network. You can view these
settings in the Wi-Fi Settings screen. See
Manually Configure Your Wireless Settings
on
page 32.
To access the Internet from any computer connected to your router, launch an Internet
browser. You should see the router’s Internet Port LED blink.
Add Wireless Computers That Do Not Support WPS
If you set up your network with WPS, and now you want to add a computer that does not
support WPS, you must manually configure that computer. For information about how to view
the wireless settings for the router, see
Manually Configure Your Wireless Settings
on
page 32.
Because WPA randomly creates the SSID and WPA/WPA2 keys, they might be difficult to
type or remember (that is one reason why the network is so secure). You can change the
wireless settings so that they are easier for you to remember. When you do that, you have to
set up the WPS-compatible computers again.
Note:
When you make these changes, all wireless computers and devices
disconnect from network. You then have to set them up with the new
wireless settings.
To change wireless settings for the network:
1.
Use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to the router. That way you do not get
disconnected when you change the wireless settings.

2.
Log in to the router and select
Wi-Fi Settings
(see
Manually Configure Your Wireless
Settings
on page 32).
3.
Make the following changes:
•
Change the wireless network name (SSID) to a meaningful name.
•
On the WPA/PSK + WPA2/PSK screen, select a passphrase.
•
Make sure that the
Keep Existing Wi-Fi Settings
check box is selected in the
Advanced Wi-Fi Settings screen so that your new settings are not erased if you use
WPS.
4.
Click
Apply
so that your changes take effect. Write down your settings.
All existing wireless clients are disassociated and disconnected from the router.
5.
For the non-WPS devices that you want to connect, open the networking utility and follow
the utility’s instructions to enter the security settings that you selected in Step 3 (the SSID,
WPA/PSK + WPA2/PSK security method, and passphrase).
6.
For the WPS devices that you want to connect, follow the procedure
WPS Button
on
page 37 or
WPS PIN Entry
on page 38.
The settings that you configured in Step 3 are broadcast to the WPS devices so that they
can connect to the router.
