2-16 Configuring Your Wireless Network and Security Settings
v1.0, October 2008
• Manual. The number of hexadecimal digits that you must enter depends on the encryption
strength setting:
– For 64-bit WEP, enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, a–f, or A–F).
– For 128-bit WEP, enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, a–f, or A–F).
7. Select the radio button for the key you want to make active.
Be sure that you clearly understand how the WEP key settings are configured in your wireless
adapter. Wireless adapter configuration utilities such as the one included in Windows XP
allow entry of only one key, which must match the default key you set in the modem router.
8. Click Save to save your settings or click Apply to allow your changes to take effect
immediately.
Configuring WPA-802.1x
This version of WPA requires the use of a RADIUS server for authentication. Each user (wireless
client) must have a user login on the RADIUS server, and the modem router must have a client
login on the RADIUS server. Data transmissions are encrypted using a key that is automatically
generated.
1. Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default
user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and
password you have set up.
2. Select Wireless Settings in the main menu.
3. In the Security Options section of the screen, select WPA-802.1x.
4. In the Radius Server ame/IP Address field, enter the name or IP address of the RADIUS
server on your LAN. This is a required field.
5. In the Radius Port field, enter the port number used for connections to the RADIUS server.
The default port is 1812.
6. In the Shared Key field, enter the value that you want to use for the RADIUS shared key. This
key enables the modem router to log in to the RADIUS server and must match the client login
value used on the RADIUS server.
ote: When configuring the modem router from a wireless computer, if you specify WEP
settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must
then either configure your wireless adapter to match the modem router WEP
settings or access the modem router from a wired computer to make any further
changes.
