Chapter 5: Configuring the Gateway
The Wireless Tab
Wireless-G ADSL Gateway
Wireless Security Tab
The Wireless Security settings configure the security of your wireless network. There are three wireless security
mode options supported by the Gateway: WPA Pre-Shared Key, WPA RADIUS, and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi
Protected Access, which is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent
Privacy, while RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) 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.
WPA Pre-Shared Key. Enter a WPA Shared Key of 8-32 characters. Then enter a Group Key Renewal period, which
instructs the Gateway how often it should change the encryption keys.
WPA RADIUS. This option features WPA used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used
when a RADIUS server is connected to the Gateway.) Enter the RADIUS server’s IP Address and port number, along
with a key shared between the Gateway and the server. Then, enter a Key Renewal Timeout, which instructs the
Gateway how often it should change the encryption keys.
