Trek N300 Travel Router and Range Extender PR2000 • Enable Wireless Isolation. If this check box is selected, wireless clients (computers or wireless devices) that join the network can use the Internet, but cannot access each other or access Ethernet devices on the network. 7. (Optional) Change the security settings as needed. For more information, see Change the Wireless Security Option on page 46. 8. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. If you were connected wirelessly to the router and you changed the SSID or wireless security, you are disconnected from the network. 9. If you changed the settings, make sure that you can connect wirelessly to the network with its new settings. If you cannot connect wirelessly, check the following: • Is your computer or wireless device connected to another wireless network in your area? Some wireless devices automatically connect to the first open network (without wireless security) that they discover. • Is your computer or wireless device trying to connect to your network with its old settings (before you changed the settings)? If so, update the wireless network selection in your computer or wireless device to match the current settings for your network. Change the Wireless Security Option A security option is the type of security protocol applied to your wireless network. The security protocol in force encrypts data transmissions and ensures that only trusted devices receive authorization to connect to your network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) has several options including pre-shared key (PSK) encryption. Note: The Trek comes with unique preset wireless security. These settings are on the product label. NETGEAR recommends that you use preset security so that you can refer to the label if you forget the WiFi password. However, you can change the security option and passphrase. WPA encryption is built into all hardware that has the Wi-Fi-certified seal. This seal means that the product is authorized by the Wi-Fi Alliance (www.wi-fi.org/) because it complies with the worldwide single standard for high-speed wireless local area networking. WPA uses a passphrase for authentication and to generate the initial data encryption keys. Then it dynamically varies the encryption key. WPA-PSK uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) data encryption, implements most of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and works with all wireless network interface cards, but not all wireless access points. genie BASIC Settings 46
