Description

 

 

Restrict access based on MAC address.

You can restrict access to only trusted computers so

 

that unknown computers cannot wirelessly connect

 

to the WNR1000v3h2 router. MAC address filtering

 

adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your

 

network by the general public, but the data broadcast

 

over the wireless link is fully exposed. This data

 

includes your trusted MAC addresses, which can be

 

read and impersonated by a hacker.

 

For more information, see Restricting Wireless

 

Access by MAC Address on page 35.

 

 

Modify your firewall’s rules.

By default, the firewall allows any outbound traffic

 

and prohibits any inbound traffic except for

 

responses to your outbound traffic. However, you

 

can modify the firewall’s rules.

 

For more information, see Understanding Your

 

Firewall on page 40.

Use the Push 'N' Connect feature (Wi-Fi Protected

Wi-Fi Protected Setup provides easy setup by

Setup).

means of a push button. Older wireless adapters and

 

devices might not support this. Check whether

 

devices are WPS enabled.

 

For more information, see Using Push 'N' Connect

 

(Wi-Fi Protected Setup) on page 30.

 

 

Recording Basic Wireless Settings Setup Information

Before and after customizing your wireless settings, print this section, and record the following information. If you are working with an existing wireless network, the person who set up or is responsible for the network can provide this information. Otherwise, you must choose the settings for your wireless network. Either way, record the settings for your wireless network in the spaces provided.

•Wireless Network Name (SSID). ______________________________ The SSID identifies the wireless network. You can use up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The SSID is case-sensitive. The SSID in the wireless adapter card must match the SSID of the wireless router. In some configuration utilities (such as in Windows XP), the term “wireless network name” is used instead of SSID.

•If WEP Authentication is used, circle one: Shared Key or Auto.

Note: If you select Shared Key, the other devices in the network will not connect unless they are also set to Shared Key and are configured with the correct key.
