2-4 Configuring Your Wireless Network and Security Settings
v1.1, January 2010
• WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP Shared
Key authentication and WEP data encryption block all but the most determined eavesdropper.
This data encryption mode has been superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK (see
“Configuring WEP” on page 2-11).
• WPA-802.1x. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with user authentication implemented using
IEE 802.1x and RADIUS servers (see “Configuring WPA-802.1x” on page 2-13).
• WPA-PSK (TKIP) + WPA2-PSK (AES). Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) using a pre-shared
key to perform authentication and generate the initial data encryption keys.
The very strong
authentication along with dynamic per frame re-keying of WPA makes it virtually impossible
to compromise (see “Configuring Mixed WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK Security” on page 2-10).
Manually Configuring Your Wireless Network
You can view or manually configure the wireless settings and wireless security for the modem
router in the Wireless Settings screen. If you want to make changes, make sure to note the current
settings first. Once you have established basic wireless connectivity, you can enable security
settings appropriate to your needs.
Note: If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or
wireless security settings, you will be disconnected when you click Apply. To
avoid this problem, use a computer with a wired connection to access the modem
router.
To manually configure the wireless settings:
1. Log in to the wireless modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its
default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN
address and password you have set up.
2. Select Wireless Settings in the main menu. The Wireless Settings screen displays.
