your ISP to request the settings.
BMake sure that all of your
network’s hardware is powered
off, including the Router, PCs,
and cable or DSL modem.
CConnect one end of an
Ethernet network cable to one
of the ports (labeled 1-4) on
the back of the Router, and the

NOTE: For more advanced settings
and security options, refer to the
User Guide on the Router’s CD-ROM.
IMPORTANT: Once the Router is
configured, wireless security,
either WEP or WPA, should be
configured to prevent security
breaches in your network.

The Router comes equipped with
four types of wireless security: WEP,
WPA Pre-Shared, WPA Enterprise, and
RADIUS. These security methods are
not enabled right out of the box,
however. To configure wireless
security on the Router, do the
following:
AOpen the Router’s Web Utility
as shown in Step 2, and click
the Wireless tab. The Basic
Wireless Settings screen will
appear.
BSelect Wireless Security to
configure wireless security on
the Router.
Directions for the configuration
of WEP and WPA Pre-Shared
wireless security are provided
here.
CFrom the Security Mode pull-
down menu, select the type of
wireless security you’ll use on
your network.
WEP: WEP is a basic encryption
method, which is not as secure as
WPA. To use WEP, select a Default
Transmit Key (choose which Key to
use), and a level of WEP
encryption, 64 bits 10 hex digits
or 128 bits 26 hex digits. Then
either generate a WEP key using
the Passphrase or enter the WEP
key manually.
Configuring Wireless Security
NOTE: If your wireless adapters
support Secure Easy Setup (SES), you
can use the SES button on the Router
to set up wireless security.
Basic Wireless Settings
NOTE: Please refer to the User Guide
if you wish to configure WPA Enterpise
or RADIUS wireless security options.
WEP Security Settings

WPA Pre-Shared: WPA gives you
two encryption methods, TKIP and
AES, with dynamic encryption keys.
Select the type of algorithm, TKIP
or AES. Enter a WPA Shared Key of
8-63 characters. Then enter a
Group Key Renewal period, which
instructs the Router how often it
should change the encryption
keys.
DClick the Save Settings button.
Congratulations! Wireless Security
is now configured on the Router.
