Section 4 - Security
Wireless Security
This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The 
DHP-1565 offers the following types of security:
• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)       • WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)      • WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
What is WPA?
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).  
The 2 major improvements over WEP: 
• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm 
and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and 
uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP.
•   User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP regulates access 
to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specific MAC address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. 
EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password between 8 and 63 
characters  long. The  password  can  include  symbols  (!?*&_)  and  spaces. This  key  must  be  the  exact  same  key  entered  on  your  wireless  router  or 
access point.
WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a more secure public key encryption 
system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

Configure WEP
It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish wireless connectivity before 
enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to the added overhead.
1.  Log into the web-based configuration by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1).  
2.  Click on Setup and then click Wireless Settings on the left side.
3.  Click the Manual Wireless Connection Setup button. 
4.  Next to Security Mode, select WEP.
5.  Next to WEP Encryption, select 64bit or	128bit.
6.  Next to  Default WEP Key, select the WEP key you would like to use as the default 
WEP key. The available option is WEP Key 1.
7.  Enter the WEP key you would like to use in the WEP Key field.
8.  Click  Save Settings to save your settings. If you are configuring the router with a 
wireless adapter, you will lose connectivity until you enable WEP on your adapter 
and enter the same WEP key as you did on the router.

Configure	 WPA/WPA2-Personal	(PSK)
It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish wireless connectivity before 
enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to the added overhead.
1. Log into the web-based configuration by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1).  
2.  Click on Setup and then click Wireless Settings on the left side.
3.  Click the Manual Wireless Connection Setup button. 
4.  Next to Security Mode, select WPA-Personal
5.  Next to WPA Mode, select WPA/WPA2,	 WPA2	only	or WPA only
6.  Next to Cypher Type select TKIP,	AES	or	 TKIP	and AES.
7.  Enter the WPA network key you would like to use in the Network Key field.
8.  Click  Save Settings to save your settings. If you are configuring the router with 
a wireless adapter, you will lose connectivity until you enable WPA-PSK on your 
adapter and enter the same passphrase as you did on the router.

the Connect button.
  If  you  get  a  good  signal  but  cannot  access  the  Internet,  check  your  TCP/IP 
settings  for  your  wireless  adapter.  Refer  to  the  Networking  Basics  section  in 
this manual for more information.
