Wi-Fi Protected Setup

There are three methods available. Use the method that
applies to the client device you are configuring.

Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

NOTE:

Wi-Fi Protected Setup configures one

client device at a time. Repeat the instructions
for each client device that supports Wi-Fi
Protected Setup.

Method #1

Use this method if your client device has a Wi-Fi Protected
Setup button.

1. Click or press the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on

the client device.

2. Click the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on this

screen.

3. After the client device has been configured, click

OK. Then refer back to your client device or its
documentation for further instructions.

Method #2

Use this method if your client device has a Wi-Fi Protected
Setup PIN number.

1. Enter the PIN number in the field on this screen.
2. Click Register.
3. After the client device has been configured, click

OK. Then refer back to your client device or its
documentation for further instructions.

Method #3

Use this method if your client device asks for the Router’s
PIN number.

1. Enter the PIN number listed on this screen. (It is also

listed on the label on the bottom of the Router.)

2. After the client device has been configured, click

OK. Then refer back to your client device or its
documentation for further instructions.

The Wi-Fi Protected Setup Status, Network Name (SSID),
Security, Encryption, and Passphrase are displayed at the
bottom of the screen.

NOTE:

If you have client devices that do not

support Wi-Fi Protected Setup, note the wireless
settings, and then manually configure those
client devices.

Wireless > Wireless Security

The Wireless Security screen configures the security of
your wireless network. There are six wireless security
mode options supported by the Router: WPA Personal,
WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Enterprise, RADIUS,
and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which
is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. WEP
stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, while RADIUS stands
for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) These
six are briefly discussed here. For detailed instructions
on configuring wireless security for the Router, refer to
“Chapter 2: Wireless Security.”

Wireless Security

Security Mode

Select the security method for your wireless network. If
you do not want to use wireless security, keep the default,
Disabled.

WPA Personal

NOTE:

If you are using WPA, always remember

that each device in your wireless network MUST
use the same WPA method and shared key, or
else the network will not function properly.
