Changing the Wireless Security Settings
Your router is equipped with the latest security standard called Wi-Fi

Protected Access 2 (WPA2) and the legacy security standard called

Wired equivalent Privacy (WeP)� Your router also supports the Wi-Fi

Protected setup

™

(WPs) specification, which simplifies the setup of a

wireless network� WPs uses familiar methodologies, such as typing in a

Personal identification Number (PiN) or pushing a button, to enable users

to automatically configure network names and strong WPA/WPA2 data

encryption and authentication� By default, wireless security is disabled�

To enable security, you will need to determine which standard you want to

use� To access the security settings, click “security” on the “Wireless” tab�

Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup
WPs uses WPA2 (described below) for encryption� it does not provide

additional security, but rather, standardizes the method for securing

your wireless network� You may use either the Push Button (s/W)

Configuration (PBC) method or PiN method to allow a device access to

your wireless network� Conceptually, the two methods work as follows:
PBC: Click the “start PBC” button located on the WPs user interface

page of your router� Then, initiate the WPs procedure on the client

device within two minutes� refer to your client’s documentation on this

procedure� Clicking the “start PBC” button will automatically enable WPs�

The client has now been securely added to your wireless network�
PiN: The client device has a PiN number (eight digits) that is associated

with WPs� enable WPs through the user interface shown below� enter

the client’s PiN into the router’s internal registrar (accessed through this

user interface)� The client will be automatically enrolled into your wireless

network within two minutes�
