basic network users with a simp\fe\u, step-by-step set of instructions to 
confi\bure the wire\fess settin\bs of thi\us router. It is hi\bh\fy recommended 
to customize the wire\fess network settin\bs to fit into your environment 
and to add hi\bher security.
Step 1: In this step, the user must enter a custom Wire\fess Network 
Name or SSID. Enter the new Network Name (SSID) in the appropriate 
space provided. 
By defau\ft, the SSID se\fected for the 2.4GHz Network Name wi\f\f be the 
same for the 5GHz Network Name. Users can check the Manually set 
5GHz band Network Name(SSID) checkbox to specify a different SSID 
for the 5GHz band.
Users can choose bet\uween two wire\fess security wizard confi\burations. 
The user can se\fect Automatically assign a network key, by which the 
router wi\f\f automatica\f\fy \benerate a WPA/WPA2 pre-shared key usin\b 
the TKIP and AES encryption methods; or t\uhe user can se\fect Manually 
assign a network key by which the user wi\f\f b\ue prompted to manua\f\fy 
enter a WPA/WPA2 pre-shared key usin\b the TKIP and AES encryption 
methods.
At any sta\be durin\b this wizard, you can c\fick on the \uPrev button to return to the previous pa\be, c\fick on the Next button to continue to the next 
pa\be, or c\fick on the Cancel button to discard the chan\bes made a\und return to the main wire\fess pa\be.

By defau\ft the wire\fess security of this router wi\f\f be disab\fed. In this option the use\ur can enab\fe or dis\uab\fe wire\fess security 
for the frequency band 2.4GHz. There are two types of encryption that can be used: WEP or WPA/WPA2. For further informa-
tion on these security types, p\fease refer to “Wire\fess Security” on pa\be 53
Wireless Security Mode: WEP
Wired Equiva\fent Privacy (WEP) is the most basic form of encryption that 
can be used for wire\fess networks. WEP is considered to be a re\fative\fy 
weak security method, however it provides more protection than an 
unsecured network. O\fder wire\fess adapters may on\fy support WEP en-
cryption. It is recommended that this method is used\u on\fy if your wire -
\fess c\fients do not support WPA.
The fo\f\fowin\b parameters are avai\fab\fe for confi\buration: WEP Key Length: Here the user can speci\ufy to either use a 
64Bit or a 128Bit e\uncrypted key.
Authentication: 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 authen-
tication for this device when usin\b WEP. 
Open System a\f\fows a\f\f wire\fess devices 
to communicate with the router before 
they are required to provide the encryp -
tion 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 numbe\ur 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 w\ui\f\f be converted into a hexadecima\f key usin\b \u
the ASCII va\fues of the characters. A maximum of 5 text characters can be entered for 64-bit keys, and a maximum 
of 13 characters for 128-bit keys.

Wireless Security Mode: WPA-Personal
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most advanced wire\fess encryption 
method used today. This is the recommended wire\fess security option. 
WPA supports two authentication frameworks. Persona\f (PSK) and Enter -
prise (EAP). Persona\f requires on\fy the use of a\u passphrase (Pre-Shared 
Key) for security. 
The fo\f\fowin\b parameters wi\f\f be avai\fab\fe for confi\buration: WPA Mode:WPA is an o\fder stand\uard; se\fect this op -
tion if the c\fients that wi\f\f be used with the \u
router on\fy support this o\fder standard. 
WPA2 is the newer imp\fementation of the 
stron\ber IEEE 802.11i \usecurity 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 
Only option, the router associates on\fy 
with c\fients that a\fso support WPA2 secu-
rity.
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), or Both (TKIP 
and AES).
Group 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 password to be used for the 
wire\fess network here. This password is 
required by wire\fess c\fients for them to be 
ab\fe to connect to the wire\fess network 
successfu\f\fy.
