After you finish WEP setting, please click ‘Apply’ button (10) and the 
following message will be displayed on your web browser: 
 
 
 
Please click ‘Continue’ to back to previous setup menu; to continue on 
other setup procedures, or click ‘Apply’ to reboot the router so the 
settings will take effect (Please wait for about 30 seconds while router is 
rebooting). 
 
TIPS: Some examples of WEP key   
(Don’t use those examples; use the one of your own!): 
 
ASCII (5 characters): pilot    phone    23561    2Hyux    #@xmL 
ASCII (13 characters): digitalFAMILY  82Jh26xHy3m&n 
Hex (10 characters): 287d2aa732   1152dabc85 
Hex (26 characters): 9284bcda8427c9e036f7abcd84 
 
To improve security level, do not use those words which can be found 
in a dictionary or too easy to remember! (‘pilot’ and ‘phone’ listed 
above are bad examples; just intended to show you how a WEP key 
look like). Wireless clients will remember the WEP key, so you only 
have to input the WEP key on wireless client once, and it’s worth to 
use complicated WEP key to improve security level.

2-7-5 Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) 
 
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to build connection 
between wireless network clients and this wireless router. You don’t have 
to select encryption mode and input a long encryption passphrase every 
time when you need to setup a wireless client, you only have to press a 
button on wireless client and this wireless router, and the WPS will do the 
rest for you. 
 
This wireless router supports two types of WPS: Push-Button 
Configuration (PBC), and PIN code. If you want to use PBC, you have to 
push a specific button on the wireless client to start WPS mode, and 
switch this wireless router to WPS mode too. You can push Reset/WPS 
button of this wireless router, or click ‘Start PBC’ button in the web 
configuration interface to do this; if you want to use PIN code, you have 
to know the PIN code of wireless client and switch it to WPS mode, then 
provide the PIN code of the wireless client you wish to connect to this 
wireless router. The detailed instructions are listed follow: 
 
Please click ‘Wireless’ menu on the left of web management interface, 
then click ‘WPS’, and the following message will be displayed on your 
web browser:

Here are descriptions of every setup items: 
 
Enable WPS (1):  Check this box to enable WPS function, uncheck it 
to disable WPS. 
 
WPS Information (2):WPS-related system information will be displayed 
here: 
 
WPS Status: If the wireless security (encryption) 
function of this wireless router is properly set, you’ll 
see ‘Configured’ message here. If wireless security 
function has not been set, you’ll see ‘unConfigured’. 
 
PinCode Self: This is the WPS PIN code of this 
wireless router. This code is useful when you need to 
 build wireless connection by WPS with other 
WPS-enabled wireless devices. 
 
SSID: The SSID of this wireless router will be 
displayed here. 
 
Authentication Mode: The wireless security 
authentication mode of this wireless router will be 
displayed here. If you don’t enable security function 
of the wireless router before WPS is activated, the 
router will auto set the security to WPA (AES) and 
generate a set of passphrase key for WPS 
connection. 
 
Passphrase Key: The wireless security key of the 
router will be displayed here. 
 
Config Mode (3):  There are ‘Registrar’ and ‘Enrollee’ modes for the 
WPS connection. When ‘Registrar’ is enabled, the 
wireless clients will follow the router’s wireless 
settings for WPS connection. When ‘Enrolle’ mode 
is enabled, the router will follow the wireless 
settings of wireless client for WPS connection.

Configure      Click ‘Start PBC’ to start Push-Button style WPS 
by Push Button (4):  setup procedure. This wireless router will wait for 
WPS requests from wireless clients for 2 minutes. 
The ‘WLAN’ LED on the wireless router will be 
steady on for 2 minutes when this wireless router is 
waiting for incoming WPS request. 
 
Configure      Please input the PIN code of the wireless client you 
by client           wish to connect, and click ‘Start PIN’ button.

2-7-6 Security Tips for Wireless Network 
 
Here are some quick tips to help you improve the security level of your 
wireless network: 
 
1. Never use simple words (like school, apple and computer) as WEP 
encryption or WPA passphrase. 
 
2. A complicated (the combination of number, alphabet, even symbol, 
and long enough) WEP key and WPA passphrase is much safer than 
simple and short ones. Remember that the wireless client is capable to 
keep the key or passphrase for you, so you only have to input the 
complicated key or passphrase once. It’s not too trouble but will 
greatly improve security level. 
 
3. You can hide the ESSID of this router by set ‘Broadcast ESSID’ 
option to ‘Disable’. Your wireless router will not be found by other 
people in proximity if they’re just using the AP scanning function of 
their wireless client, and this can reduce the chance of being intruded. 
 
4. Use ‘Access Control’ function described in section 2-7-4, so those 
people who are not in your list will not be able to connect to your 
network.
