Chapter 3 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 the OK button. Then refer back to your client device or its documentation for further instructions. The Wi-Fi Protected Setup Status, Network Name (SSID), Security, 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 settings configure 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 information on setting up wireless security networks, refer to "Chapter 2: Wireless Security." Wireless Security Security Mode Select the security method for your wireless network. If you do not want to use wireless security, keep the default, Disabled. WPA Personal NOTE: If you are using WPA or WPA2, each device in your wireless network MUST use the same WPA or WPA2 method and shared key, or else the network will not function properly. Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router Advanced Configuration WPA Personal Encryption WPA supports two encryption methods, TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption keys. Select the type of algorithm, TKIP or AES. The default is TKIP. Passphrase Enter a passphrase of 8-63 characters. Key Renewal Enter a Key Renewal period, which instructs the Router how often it should change the encryption keys. The default Key Renewal period is 3600 seconds. WPA Enterprise This option features WPA used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to the Router.) WPA Enterprise Encryption WPA supports two encryption methods, TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption keys. Select the type of algorithm, TKIP or AES. The default is TKIP. RADIUS Server Enter the IP Address of the RADIUS server. RADIUS Port Enter the port number of the RADIUS server. The default value is 1812. Shared Key Enter the key shared between the Router and the server. 12
