Basic Security Settings
If you select
Wireless
from the top navigation menu and then select
Basic
Security Settings
in the left submenu, the
following screen will appear. Your Router also functions as a wireless access point for wireless devices. To configure
your wireless settings, enter the appropriate values in the fields provided. Then, click
Apply
to allow the settings to
take effect. The following table explains the details of this screen.
IMPORTANT:
1. If you are connecting to the Router via a wireless network adapter, the computer’s wireless network adapter must
be configured with the Router’s Service Set ID (SSID); that is, the SSID used in the wireless network adapter
must be identical to the Router’s SSID. The default SSID and WEP key for the Router are both located on the
right-hand side of the label, which is located on the bottom of the router. Locate and run the utility software
provided with the wireless network adapter, and then enter the identical SSID and WEP encryption security
settings displayed in the Router into the wireless adapter. For privacy, you can change the SSID and security
settings to your desired values. SSIDs are case sensitive and can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters,
including spaces.
2. In order for every computer on your network to connect to your Router wirelessly, confirm that each computer’s
wireless adapater is using the same security settings that you have configured in the Router’s Basic Security
Settings screen. After you have configured all the settings in this screen, please record the settings for future
reference.

User Guide
Wireless Settings
Wireless (ON/OFF)
By default, the wireless feature is enabled. To completely turn off the wireless networking
feature and the Router’s internal wireless radio, select OFF.
Change SSID
The SSID is the name of your wireless network. This string is case-sensitive and must be
30 characters or less. To connect to the Router, the SSID on a computer’s wireless card
must be identical the SSID on the Router. The Router comes pre-configured with the SSID;
however, you can change the SSID to any name or code you want.
Channel
This is the channel of the frequency band at which the Router communicates.
The Router transmits and receives data on this channel. The number of channels to choose
from is pre-programmed into the Router. A computer’s wireless card does not have to be
set to the same channel as the Router; the wireless card can scan all channels and look for a
Router to connect to. (In the United States, use channels 1 through 11).
For better performance, select a channel that is not being used or being used the least by
other wireless devices such as cordless phones or other Routers in the area. If "Automatic"
is selected, the Router will determine the optimal channel to use.
WEP Security
Factory Default = WEP
WEP security encrypts the Router's wireless traffic and prevents unauthorized access to the
Router's network. If "Advanced" is selected, it means that current wireless security setting
is configured using advanced options
(See 'Advanced Security Settings' for additional
security options.) Selecting "NO SECURITY" will disable wireless security and is not
recommended.
WEP Key Length
A WEP encryption key is used to protect your wireless transmissions.
These keys are of
varying lengths.
The key can include the numbers
0-9
and letters
a,b,c,d,e, and f
.
The
number of characters must be either 10 (for 64/40 bit encryption) or 26 (for 104 bit
encryption). If this page is used to configure WEP, key 1 will be used as the active key.
You should note this value as you will have to enter it into each device which is connecting
wirelessly
WEP Key
This is the actual security key value.
You should note this value as you will have to enter it
into each device which is connecting wirelessly.
Number of Required
Digits
This field indicates how many more characters are needed to complete the security key.
The security key is not complete unless this counter indicates 0.
Configure Wireless Client
Settings to match Router’s
settings
For wireless clients, such as computers and other devices with wireless cards to establish a
wireless connection to this Router, the clients' settings, especially the SSID, channel,
wireless mode, and security (i.e., WEP) settings must match the Router's settings as
summarized in the table. If channel is set to Automatic, the Router will determine the
optimal channel to use. (If settings, particularly if using advance security options, are
changed in other or "Advanced" sections, the sections where the changes were made must
be consulted for reference.)
