Secure your wireless network

Basic > Wireless

After you have determined which security type to use for your wireless network (see

“How to choose the security type for your wireless network” on page 18), you can set up

wireless security.

Note: By default, your router is configured with a predefined wireless network name

(SSID) and security key using WPA2-Personal. The predefined wireless network name and

security can be found on the sticker on the side of the router or on the device label at the

bottom of the router.

1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”

on page 10).

2. Click on Basic, and click on Wireless.

3. Under Security, click on the Security Mode drop-down list to select your wireless

security type.

Selecting WEP:

If selecting WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), please review the WEP settings. To save

changes to this section, click Save when finished. Commit your changes to the router by

clicking on Apply/Discard Changes in the left-hand menu, and click Apply & Reboot.

 Security Mode: Choose WEP-OPEN, WEP-SHARED, or WEP-AUTO.

Note: It is recommended to use Open since it is known to be more secure than

Shared Key.

 Default Key: Choose the key index to use for security to the corresponding WEP

Keys 1-4. You can only use one key at any given time.

Note: Please note that they wireless client key index 1-4 should also match the key

index chosen here in order to establish connection.

 WEP Key 1-4: Enter the WEP key. This is the password or key that is used to

connect your computer to this router wirelessly. You can enter 64-bit or 128-bit

key. You can enter up to four keys but only the one chosen as the Default Key will

be used.

Note: It is recommended to use 128-bit because it is more secure to use a key that

consists of more characters.

 Hex/ASCII: Enter the WEP key format. See the table below for the acceptable

characters and lengths for each format.
