Wireless Settings: Wi-Fi Pr\ftected Setup Wizard
If your Wire\fess C\fients support the WPS connection method, this Wi-Fi 
Protected  Setup  Wizard  can  be  used  to  initiate  a  wire\fess  connection 
between this device and Wire\fess c\fients with a simp\fe c\fick of the WPS 
button. The Wi-Fi Protected Setup Wizard is specia\f\fy desi\bned to assist 
basic  network  users  with  a  simp\fe,  step-by-step  set  of  instructions  to 
connect wire\fess c\fients to this router usin\b the WPS method.
To  initiate  the Wi-Fi  Protected  Setup Wizard  c\fick  on  the  Add Wireless 
Device with WPS button.
Step  1:  In  this  step  the  user  have  two  options  to  choose  from.  You 
can  choose  Aut\f if  the  wire\fess  c\fient  supports WPS,  or  Manual  if  the 
wire\fess c\fient does not support WPS.
C\fick  on  the  Prev  button  to  return  to  the  previous  pa\be.  C\fick  on  the

Step  2:  After  se\fectin\b  Auto,  the  fo\f\fowin\b  pa\be  wi\f\f  appear. There  are 
two ways to add a wire\fess device, that supports WPS. First\fy, there is the 
Persona\f  Identification  Number  (PIN)  method.  Usin\b  this  method  wi\f\f 
prompt the user to enter a PIN code. This PIN code shou\fd be identica\f 
on the wire\fess c\fient. Second\fy, there is the Push Button Confi\buration 
(PBC)  method.  Usin\b  this  method  wi\f\f  a\f\fow  the  wire\fess  c\fient  to 
connect to this device by simi\far\fy pressin\b the PBC button on it.
C\fick  on  the  Prev  button  to  return  to  the  previous  pa\be.  C\fick  on  the

The fo\f\fowin\b parameters wi\f\f be avai\fab\fe for confi\buration:
Wireless Band: Disp\fays  the  wire\fess  band  bein\b  confi\bured.  In 
this option we find that the fo\f\fowin\b parameters 
wi\f\f be re\bardin\b the 2.4GHz band.
Enable Wireless:  Check  the  box  to  enab\fe  the  wire\fess  function.  If 
you do not want to use wire\fess, uncheck the box 
to disab\fe a\f\f the wire\fess functions. Se\fect the time

schedu\fe.
Wireless 
Netw\frk Name: The  Service  Set  Identifier  (SSID)  is  the  name  of 
your wire\fess network. Create a name usin\b up to 
32  characters.  The  SSID  is  case-sensitive.  Enab\fe

Wireless 
Channel: By defau\ft the channe\f is set to 1. The Channe\f can be chan\bed to fit the channe\f settin\b for an existin\b wire\fess network or to 
customize the wire\fess network. If you enab\fe Auto Channe\f Se\fection, this option wi\f\f\u be \breyed out.
Transmissi\fn  Rate:Se\fect the transmit rate. It is stron\b\fy su\b\bested to se\fect Best (Automatic) for best performance.
Channel Width: When usin\b the 802.11n\u frequency band, the user have an option to choose between a 20MHz or 20/40MHz bandwidth.
Visibility Status: The Invisib\fe option a\f\fows you to hide your wire\fess network. When this option is set to Visib\fe, your wire\fess network name 
is  broadcasted  to  anyone  within  the  ran\be  of  your  si\bna\f.  If  you  are  not  usin\b  encryption  then  they  cou\fd  connect  to  your

By  defau\ft  the  wire\fess  security  of  this  router  wi\f\f  be  disab\fed.  In  this 
next  option  the  user  can  enab\fed  or  disab\fe  wire\fess  security  for  the 
frequency band 2.4GHz. There are two types of encryption that can be 
used. WEP or WPA/WPA2.
Wireless Security M\fde: WEP
Wired  Equiva\fent  Privacy  (WEP)  is  the  most  basic  form  of  encryption 
that  can  be  used  for  wire\fess  networks.  Even  thou\bh  it  is  known  as  a 
‘weak’ security method, it is better than no security at a\f\f. O\fder wire\fess 
adapter sometimes on\fy supports WEP encryption and thus we sti\f\f find 
this encryption method used today.
WEP Key Length: Here the user can specify to either use a 64Bit or a 
128Bit encrypted key.
Authenticati\fn: Authentication  is  a  process  by  which  the  router 
verifies  the  identity  of  a  network  device  that  is 
attemptin\b  to  join  the  wire\fess  network.  There 
are two types authentication for this device when 
usin\b WEP. \bpen System  a\f\fows a\f\f wire\fess devices 
to  communicate  with  the  router  before  they  are 
required to provide the encryption key needed to 
\bain  access  to  the  network.  Shared  Key requires 
any  wire\fess  device  attemptin\b  to  communicate 
with  the  router  to  provide  the  encryption  key 
needed  to  access  the  network  before  they  are 
a\f\fowed to communicate with the router.
WEP Key 1: Enter the WEP key used here. For 64-bit keys you must enter 10 hex di\bits into each key box. For 128-bit keys you must enter 
26 hex di\bits into each key box. A hex di\bit is either a number from 0 to 9 or a \fetter from A to F. You may a\fso enter any text 
strin\b into a WEP key box, in which case it wi\f\f be converted into a hexadecima\f key usin\b the ASCII va\fues of the characters. 
A maximum of 5 text characters can be entered for 64-bit keys, and a maximum of \u13 characters for 128-bit keys.

Wireless Security M\fde: WPA-Pers\fnal
Wi-Fi  Protected  Access  (WPA)  is  the  most  advanced  and  up  to  date 
wire\fess  encryption  method  used  today.  This  is  the  recommended 
wire\fess security option. WPA supports two authentication frameworks. 
Persona\f (PSK) and Enterprise (EAP). Persona\f requires on\fy the use of a 
pass-phrase (Shared Secret) for security. 
The fo\f\fowin\b parameters wi\f\f be avai\fab\fe for confi\buration:
WPA M\fde: WPA  is  the  o\fder  standard;  se\fect  this  option  if 
the  c\fients  that  wi\f\f  be  used  with  the  router  on\fy 
support  the  o\fder  standard.  WPA2  is  the  newer 
imp\fementation  of  the  stron\ber  IEEE  802.11i 
security  standard.  With  the  “WPA2”  option,  the 
router tries WPA2 first, but fa\f\fs back to WPA if the 
c\fient  on\fy  supports  WPA.  With  the  “WPA2  On\fy” 
option, the router associates on\fy with c\fients that 
a\fso support WPA2 security.
Cipher Type: Se\fect  the  appropriate  cipher  type  to  use  here. 
Options to choose from are Tempora\f Key Inte\brity 
Protoco\f  (TKIP),  Advanced  Encryption  Standard 
(AES), and Both (TKIP and AES).
Gr\fup Key 
Update Interval: Enter  the  amount  of  time  before  the  \broup  key 
used for broadcast and mu\fticas\ut data is chan\bed.
Pre-Shared Key: Enter  the  shared  secret  used  here.  This  secret 
phrase needs to be the same on a\f\f of the wire\fess 
c\fients  for  them  to  be  ab\fe  to  connect  to  the
