Configuring Your Wireless Connection

The DG950 ships with wireless LAN security set by default. See the security label

on your product (shown on image at the left) for the factory security settings: net-

work name (SSID), encryption method, network key, and WPS PIN.

Note:

You must set up your computer and other client devices to work

with the security settings on the DG950. Refer to the documen-

tation for your client device for instructions on setting security.

If your computer or client device supports WiFi Alliance WPS

(Wireless Protected Setup), activate WPS on your computer or

client device and the DG950 simultaneously to easily set up your

system security.

If you need to modify the Data Gateway’s default wireless security settings, or if you

want to configure any other wireless LAN settings, refer to the following instruc-

tions.
