Reference Manual for the 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router DG834G
Wireless Configuration 4-3
• Turn Off the Broadcast of the Wireless Network Name SSID. If you disable broadcast of
the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies wireless network
‘discovery’ feature of some products, such as Windows XP, but the data is still exposed.
• WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP Shared
Key authentication and WEP data encryption will block all but the most determined
eavesdropper.
• WPA-PSK. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides data security. The very
strong authentication along with dynamic per frame rekeying of WPA make it virtually
impossible to compromise. Because this is a new standard, wireless device driver and software
availability may be limited.
