USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Changing the Wireless Security Settings
Your Double N+ Wireless Router is equipped with the latest security
standard called Wi-Fi Protected Access™ 2 (WPA2™) and the legacy
security standard called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Your Router
also supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) specification,
which simplifies the setup of a wireless network. WPS uses familiar
methodologies, such as typing in a Personal Identification Number (PIN)
or pushing a button, to enable users to automatically configure network
names and strong WPA™/WPA2 data encryption and authentication. By
default, wireless security is disabled. To enable security, you will need
to determine which standard you want to use. To access the security
settings, click “Security” on the “Wireless” tab.
Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup
WPS recommends that you set up WPA2 (described on page 44) as your
wireless security. WPS does not provide additional security, but rather
simplifies the addition of wireless devices to your wireless network.
You may use either the Push Button Configuration (PBC) method or PIN
method to allow a device access to your wireless network:
PBC: Push and hold the WPS button located on the front of your Router
for two seconds and the security LED will flash, indicating that WPS
has been initiated. Then, initiate WPS on the client device within two
minutes (refer to your client’s documentation on this procedure). The
wireless device and Router will automatically exchange a security key
and establish a secure connection.
PIN: The client device has a WPS PIN number (eight digits) that will be
provided to you when you initiate the connection to the Router. Enable
WPS through the screen illustrated to the right. Enter the client’s PIN
into the Router’s internal registrar (accessed through this screen). The
client will be securely enrolled into your wireless network within two
minutes.
