How to secure your wireless network
Wireless > Security
After you have determined which security type to use for your wireless
network (see “How to choose the security type for your wireless
network” on page 22), you can set up wireless security.
1. Log into your router management page (see “How to access your
router management page” on page 11).
2. Click on Wireless, and click on Security.
3. Click on the Authentication Type drop-down list to select your wireless
security type.
If selecting WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), please review the WEP
settings to configure and click Apply to save the changes.
WEP– Choose Open System or Shared Key.
Note: It is recommended to use Open System because it is known to
be more secure than Shared Key.
Mode – Choose HEX or ASCII.
Note: It is recommended to use ASCII because of the much larger
character set that can be used to create the key.
WEP Key – Choose the key length 64-bit or 128-bit.
Note: It is recommended to use 128-bit because it is more secure to
use a key that consists of more characters.
Key 1-4 – Choose a key index 1,2,3, or 4 and enter the key.
Note: The Key Index # must also match when configuring wireless devices
to connect to your wireless network.
alphanumeric (a,b,C,?,*, /,1,2, etc.)
