Wireless and Wireless Security Setup
Your Travel Router with Wireless-N's default (factory) settings provide no wireless
network security. If you don't want unauthorized wireless access to your network, we
recommend that you enable wireless network security. To do this, you'll need to
configure the router and each device on your network for the level of security that you
want.
Before setting up wireless security you must decide which method to use.
• Use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) when all of your devices support WPS
security. WPS is easy to configure. Please refer to
WPS Configuration below
for details.
• If you want security without using WPS, you should probably use the Setup
Wizard as described in
Chapter 2.
• The manual setup option is also available. Please refer to
Configuring
Wireless Security Manually on page 29.
WPS Configuration
You can automatically configure WPS security using the router's built-in WPS
configuration program on each client device that is part of your wireless network.
Configuration Methods
WPS offers three configuration methods. Choose the method that is compatible with
the hardware and software options available on your router and client device.
Note: WPS configures one client device at a time. Please repeat the configuration
method for each client on your wireless network that supports WPS security.
Method One
Use this method if your router and client devices have a WPS button. This button can
be either a physical button on the unit or a software button in its application.
1 Press the WPS button on your Travel Router and hold it in for seven (7) seconds until the
Wireless LED starts blinking rapidly.
Important! The Registrar (the device configuring the WLAN) goes into the WPS
mode and the Enrollee (the device joining the WLAN) then looks for it. You should
always start the Registrar first. By default your Travel Router is configured as a
Registrar.
