To broadcast the Router's SSID, keep the default setting, Enabled. If you do not want to broadcast the Router's SSID, then select Disabled. Click Save Settings to apply your changes, or click Cancel Changes to cancel your changes. Wi-Fi Protected Setup There are three methods available. Use the method that applies to the client device you are configuring. Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) NOTE: Wi-Fi Protected Setup configures one client device at a time.

Click or press the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the client device. 2. Click the Wi‑Fi Protected Setup button on this screen. 3. After the client device has been configured, click OK. Then refer back to your client device or its documentation for further instructions. Advanced Configuration Method #2 Use this method if your client device has a Wi-Fi Protected Setup PIN number. 1. Enter the PIN number in the field on this screen. 2. Click Register. 3. After the client device has been configured, click OK. Then refer back to your client device or its documentation for further instructions. Method #3 Use this method if your client device asks for the Router's PIN number. 1. Enter the PIN number listed on this screen. (It is also listed on the label on the bottom of the Router.) 2. After the client device has been configured, click OK. Then refer back to your client device or its documentation for further instructions. The Wi-Fi Protected Setup Status, Network Name (SSID), Security, Encryption, and Passphrase are displayed at the bottom of the screen. NOTE: If you have client devices that do not support Wi-Fi Protected Setup, note the wireless settings, and then manually configure those client devices. Wireless > Wireless Security The Wireless Security screen configures the security of your wireless network. There are six wireless security mode options supported by the Router: WPA Personal, WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Enterprise, 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 six are briefly discussed here. For detailed instructions on configuring wireless security for the Router, refer to "Chapter 2: Wireless Security Checklist."
