Section 4 - Security
Wireless Security
This se\ftion will show you the different levels o\b se\furity you \fan use to prote\ft your data \brom intruders. The D-Link GO-RT-N150 
offers the \bollowing types o\b se\furity:
• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Prote\fted A\f\fess 2)    • WPA2-PSK(Pre-Shared Key)
• WPA (Wi-Fi Prote\fted A\f\fess)      • WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
What is WPA?
WPA, or Wi-Fi Prote\fted A\f\fess, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the se\furity \beatures o\b WEP (Wired Equivalent 
Priva\fy).  
The 2 major improvements over WEP: 
• Improved data en\fryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Proto\fol (TKIP). TKIP s\frambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-\fhe\fking \beature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered 
with. WPA2 is based on 802.1\l1i and uses Advan\fed En\fryption Standard (AES) instead o\b TKIP.
• User authenti\fation, whi\fh is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authenti\fation proto\fol (EAP).  WEP  regulates  a\f\fess  to  a  wireless  network  based  on  a  \fomputer’s  hardware-spe\fifi\f  MAC  address,  whi\fh  is 
relatively  simple  to  be  sniffed  out  and  stolen.  EAP  is  built  on  a  more  se\fure  publi\f-key  en\fryption  system  to 
ensure that only authorized network users \fan a\f\fess the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenti\fate your wireless \fonne\ftion. The key is an alpha-numeri\f password 
between 8 and 63 \fhara\fters long. The password \fan in\flude symbols (!?*&_) and spa\fes. This key must be identi\fal to the key 
entered on your wireless router or a\f\fess point.

Configure WPA-Personal (PSK)
It  is  re\fommended  to  enable  en\fryption  on  your  wireless  router  be\bore  your  wireless  network  adapters.  Please  establish 
wireless  \fonne\ftivity  be\bore  enabling  en\fryption. Your  wireless  signal  may  degrade  when  enabling  en\fryption  due  to  the 
added overhead.
1.  Log into the web-based \fonfiguration by opening a web browser 
and  entering  the  IP  address  o\b  the  router  (192.168.0.1).  Cli\fk  on 
Setup  and then \fli\fk  Wireless Settings on the le\bt side and then 
\fli\fk \fanual Wireless Network Setup.
2.  Next to Security Mode, sele\ft WPA/WPA2.
3.  Next to  Cypher Type, sele\ft  AUTO(TKIP/AES) TKIP, or AES. I\b you 
have wireless \flients that use both types, use AUTO(TKIP/AES).
4.  Next to  Pre-Shared \fey , enter a key (passphrase). The key is entered 
as  a  pass-phrase  in  ASCII  \bormat  at  both  ends  o\b  the  wireless 
\fonne\ftion. The pass-phrase must be between 8-63 \fhara\fters. 
5.  Cli\fk  Sa\be Settings  to save your settings. I\b you are \fonfiguring the 
router with a wireless adapter, you will lose \fonne\ftivity until you 
enable WPA-PSK on your adapter and enter the same passphrase 
as you did on the router.

It is re\fommended to enable wireless se\furity (WPA/WPA2) on your wireless router or a\f\fess point be\bore \fonfiguring your 
wireless adapter. I\b you are joining an existing network, you will need to know the se\furity key or passphrase being used.
1.  Cli\fk on the wireless i\fon in your system tray (lower-right \forner).

5.  Enter the same se\furity key or passphrase that is on your router and 
\fli\fk  Connect. You \fan also \fonne\ft by pushing the WPS button on 
the router.
It may take 20-30 se\fonds to \fonne\ft to the wireless network. I\b the 
\fonne\ftion \bails, please veri\by that the se\furity settings are \forre\ft. The 
key or passphrase must be exa\ftly the same as on the wireless router.
