13.4 Advanced Security Settings
If you select Wireless Settings from the top navigational menu and then select Advanced Security Settings in the
submenu options at the left of the screen, the following screen will appear. The following table explains the details of
the Advanced Security Settings screen.
IMPORTANT: Only the advanced user should change the settings in this screen. If you need to reset the Router to
factory default settings, press the reset button at the rear of the Router. Or follow the instructions in section 16.2,
“Restore Defaults,” to restore the Router to factory default settings.
Advanced Security Settings
Wireless Security Factory Default = WEP (recommended)
WEP – Selecting WEP allows you to enable a WEP key for wireless security. The Router’s card
supports 64-bit, 128-bit, or 256-bit WEP encryption. If WEP is selected, any station can connect to the
Router (as long as its SSID matches the Router’s SSID).
WPA – Selecting WPA allows you to enable a pre-shared key for home network or more advanced
security for an enterprise network.
SSID Broadcast Allows you to prevent unauthorized wireless access to your Router by blocking the Router’s SSID on
the network.
When SSID Broadcast is enabled, any computer or wireless device using the SSID of “ANY” can see
the Router. To prevent this from happening, disable SSID broadcast so that only the wireless devices
that know your SSID can access your Router.
