How to Configure WPA-PSK Wireless Security
Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is also required. 
Windows XP and Windows 2000 with service pack 3 do include WPA support. Nevertheless, the 
wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA. For instructions on configuring 
wireless computers or PDAs for WPA-PSK security, consult the documentation for the product 
you are using.
To configure WPA-PSK, follow these steps:
1.Click Security Settings in the Setup section of the main menu and select WPA-PSK for the 
Security Type.

2.
Enter a word or group of 8-63 printable characters in the Password Phrase box.
3.Click Apply to save your settings.

Click Add to add a wireless device to the wireless access control list. The Available Wireless 
Cards list displays.
Note: When configuring the firewall from a wireless computer whose MAC address is 
not in the Trusted PC list, if you select Turn Access Control On, you will lose your 
wireless connection when you click on Apply. You must then access the wireless router 
from a wired computer or from a wireless computer which is on the access control list to 
make any further changes.

find the MAC address printed on the wireless adapter.
Note: You can copy and paste the MAC addresses from the firewall’s Attached Devices menu 
into the MAC Address box of this menu. To do this, configure each wireless computer to 
obtain a wireless link to the firewall. The computer should then appear in the Attached 
Devices menu.
7.Click Add to add this wireless device to the Wireless Card Access List. The screen changes 
back to the list screen. Repeat these steps for each additional device you wish to add to the list.
8.Be sure to click Apply to save your wireless access control list settings.
Now, only devices on this list will be allowed to wirelessly connect to the WGR614 v5.

Chapter 5 
Content Filtering
This chapter describes how to use the content filtering features of the 54 Mbps Wireless Router 
WGR614 v5 to protect your network. These features can be found by clicking on the Content 
Filtering heading in the Main Menu of the browser interface. 
Content Filtering Overview
The 54 Mbps Wireless Router WGR614 v5 provides you with Web content filtering options, plus 
browsing activity reporting and instant alerts via e-mail. Parents and network administrators can 
establish restricted access policies based on time of day, Web addresses and Web address 
keywords. You can also block Internet access by applications and services, such as chat or games.
To configure these features of your router, click on the subheadings under the Content Filtering 
heading in the Main Menu of the browser interface. The subheadings are described below:

Blocking Access to Internet Sites
The WGR614 v5 router allows you to restrict access based on Web addresses and Web address 
keywords. Up to 255 entries are supported in the Keyword list. The Block Sites menu is shown in 
Figure 5-1 below:
Figure 5-1:  Block Sites menu
To enable keyword blocking, select either “Per Schedule” or “Always”, then click Apply. If you 
want to block by schedule, be sure that a time period is specified in the Schedule menu.
To add a keyword or domain, type it in the Keyword box, click Add Keyword, then click Apply.
To delete a keyword or domain, select it from the list, click Delete Keyword, then click Apply.
Keyword application examples:
• If the keyword “XXX” is specified, the URL  is blocked.

Content Filtering5-3

• If the keyword “.com” is specified, only Web sites with other domain suffixes (such as .edu or 
.gov) can be viewed.
• If you wish to block all Internet browsing access during a scheduled period, enter the keyword 
“.” and set the schedule in the Schedule menu.
To specify a Trusted User, enter that PC’s IP address in the Trusted User box and click Apply.
You may specify one Trusted User, which is a PC that will be exempt from blocking and 
logging. Since the Trusted User will be identified by an IP address, you should configure that 
PC with a fixed IP address.
Blocking Access to Internet Services
The WGR614 v5 router allows you to block the use of certain Internet services by PCs on your 
network. This is called services blocking or port filtering. The Block Services menu is shown 
below:
Figure 5-2:  Block Services menu
Services are functions performed by server computers at the request of client computers. For 
example, Web servers serve Web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game 
hosts serve data about other players’ moves. When a computer on your network sends a request for 
service to a server computer on the Internet, the requested service is identified by a service or port 
number. This number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For 
example, a packet that is sent with destination port number 80 is an HTTP (Web server) request.
To enable service blocking, select either Per Schedule or Always, then click Apply. If you want to 
block by schedule, be sure that a time period is specified in the Schedule menu.

To specify a service for blocking, click Add. The Add Services menu will appear, as shown below:
Figure 5-3:  Add Services menu
From the Service Type list, select the application or service to be allowed or blocked. The list 
already displays several common services, but you are not limited to these choices. To add any 
additional services or applications that do not already appear, select User Defined.
Configuring a User Defined Service
To define a service, first you must determine which port number or range of numbers is used by 
the application. The service numbers for many common protocols are defined by the Internet 
Engineering Task Force (IETF) and published in RFC1700, “Assigned Numbers.” Service 
numbers for other applications are typically chosen from the range 1024 to 65535 by the authors of 
the application. This information can usually be determined by contacting the publisher of the 
application or from user groups of newsgroups.
Enter the Starting Port and Ending Port numbers. If the application uses a single port number, enter 
that number in both boxes.
If you know that the application uses either TCP or UDP, select the appropriate protocol. If you are 
not sure, select Both.

Configuring Services Blocking by IP Address Range
Under “Filter Services For”, you can block the specified service for a single computer, a range of 
computers (having consecutive IP addresses), or all computers on your network.
Scheduling When Blocking Will Be Enforced
The WGR614 v5 router allows you to specify when blocking will be enforced. The Schedule menu 
is shown below:
Figure 5-4:  Schedule menu
• Use this schedule for blocking content. Check this box if you wish to enable a schedule for 
Content Filtering. Click Apply.
• Days to Block. Select days to block by checking the appropriate boxes. Select Everyday to 
check the boxes for all days. Click Apply.
• Time of Day to Block. Select a start and end time in 23:59 format. Select All day for 24 hour 
blocking. Click Apply.
Be sure to select your Time Zone in the E-Mail menu.

entries are stored in the log. Log entries will only appear when keyword blocking is enabled, and 
no log entries will be made for the Trusted User. An example is shown below:
