Configure Your Wireless Security Settings

Due to the limitation of the Wi-Fi WPA Test Plan, your WE800G’s factory default settings are not set at their maximum security level. Adjustments are strongly recommended to ensure that you communicate securely on your wireless network at maximum strength. Failure to configure these settings properly could compromise your network to wireless hackers.

WARNING!

When first configuring your WE800G, it is recommended that you have an Ethernet cable connected to the WE800G. Performing the INITIAL configuration using a wireless connection is not secure and is not recommended.

After you have finished the initial configuration of the WE800G, your connection will be secure and you can safely use either a wired or wireless connection.

Follow these procedures to set up the security protocols for your Wireless Ethernet Bridge. The settings below indicate how to setup the strongest security settings available for the WE800G.

If the wireless network you are going to connect to uses different security settings, then you will need to match the wireless network’s security settings to ensure a proper connection.
