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�
