Advanced Configuration

Configure the following settings for each wireless network:

Wireless Network Name (SSID)  The default wireless network uses this name: “linksys” followed by the last four digits of the Router’s wireless MAC address. To rename the default wireless network, enter a unique Wireless Network Name, which is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard).

To create a second wireless network, enter a unique Wireless Network Name in the SSID2 setting. (To activate this network, select Network Enabled.)

NOTE: Your ISP or ITSP may control the SSID2 settings. Contact your ISP or ITSP for more information.

SSID Broadcast Enabled  When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks to associate with, they detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. If you want to broadcast the SSID, keep the check box selected. If you do not want to broadcast the SSID, deselect the check box.

Network Enabled  To enable the wireless network, select the check box. To disable the wireless network, deselect the check box.

Click Save Settings to apply your changes, or click Cancel Changes to cancel your changes.

Wireless > Wireless Security

The Wireless Security screen configures the security of your wireless network(s). The Router supports the following wireless security mode options: WPA Personal, WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Enterprise, and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy.) These options are briefly discussed here. For detailed instructions on configuring wireless security for the Router, refer to “Chapter 2: Wireless Security.”

NOTE: If you used Wi-Fi Protected Setup to configure your wireless network(s), then wireless security has already been set up. Do not make changes to the Wireless Security screen.

Wireless Security

Select a SSID  Select the appropriate SSID. (If you enabled the second wireless network on the Basic Wireless Settings screen, then set up wireless security for each SSID.)

Security Mode

Select the security method for your wireless network. Proceed to the appropriate instructions. 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.

Security Mode > WPA Personal

WPA Algorithms  WPA supports two encryption methods, TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption keys. Select the type of algorithm, TKIP or AES. The default is TKIP.

WPA Shared Key  Enter a WPA Shared Key of 8-63 characters.

Group Key Renewal  Enter a Group Key Renewal period, which instructs the Router how often it should change the encryption keys. The default is 3600 seconds.

WPA2 Personal

Security Mode > WPA2 Personal

WPA Algorithms  WPA2 supports two encryption methods, TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption keys. Select the type of algorithm, AES or TKIP + AES. The default is TKIP + AES.

WPA Shared Key  Enter a WPA Shared Key of 8-63 characters.
