Section 4 - Security
It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish
wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to
the added overhead.
1. Log into the web-based configuration by opening a web browser
and entering the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1). Click on
Setup and then click Wireless Settings on the left side and then
click the Manual Wireless Network Setup button.
2. Select Enable WPA/WPA2 Wireless Security (enhanced) from
the Security Mode drop-down menu.
3. Select Auto(TKIP/AES), TKIP, or AES from the Cipher Type
drop-down menu. If you have wireless clients that use both types,
use TKIP/AES.
4. Select PSK from the PSK / EAP drop-down menu.
5. Enter a key (passphrase) in the Network Key field. The key is entered as a pass-phrase in either ASCII or HEX format.
If using ASCII format the pass-phrase must be between 8-63 characters. If using HEX format the pass-phrase must
be 64 characters. The ASCII or HEX pass-phrase must be the same at both ends of the wireless connection.
6. Click Save Settings to save your settings. If you are configuring the router with a wireless adapter, you will lose
connectivity until you enable WPA-PSK on your adapter and enter the same passphrase as you did on the router.
