Wireless-G ADSL Gateway with SpeedBooster
The Wireless Security Tab
The Wireless Security settings configure the security of your wireless network. There are four wireless security
options supported by the Gateway: WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA2-Mixed, and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi
Protected Access, which is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. WPA2 is a more advanced, more
secure version of WPA, and WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy.) These are briefly discussed here. For
detailed instructions on configuring wireless security for the Gateway, turn to “Appendix B: Wireless Security.”
If you want to disable wireless security, select Disable from the drop-down menu for Security Mode.
• Security Mode. Select the mode you want your network to use, WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal,
WPA2-Mixed, or WEP. If you have devices using WPA and WPA2, select WPA2-Mixed.
WPA-Personal
• Encryption. Select the method you want to use, TKIP or AES. (AES is a stronger encryption method than TKIP.)
• Passphrase. Enter the key shared by the Gateway and your other network devices. It must have 8 to 63
characters.
• Key Renewal. Enter the Key Renewal period, which tells the Gateway how often it should change the dynamic
encryption keys.
When you have finished making changes to this screen, click the Save Settings button to save the changes, or
click the Cancel Changes button to undo your changes. Click Help for more information.
