Chapter 4 Configuring Wireless Settings

WPA

Activating WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) in the Wireless Advanced Settings screen generates the “Wireless WPA Settings” screen.

There are two levels of WPA. “Pre-Shared Key (PSK) for Home Network” is for home network security. To set up a PSK (Pre-Shared Key), enter 8-63 alphanu- meric characters in the text box. All wireless-enabled devices must support WPA and know the PSK to join the network.

The “Group Key Interval,”“Server IP Address,”“Port,” and “Secret” text boxes are enterprise network specific, and should only be accessed by an information sys- tems professional. See “WEP+802.1x” on the previous page for more information.

When finished with this screen, click Apply to save all changes. To return to the Wireless Advanced Settings screen, click Back.

ESSID Broadcast

Selecting ESSID Broadcast in the Wireless Advanced Settings screen generates the “ESSID Broadcast” screen.

To prevent a unwanted computers from joining the Gateway’s wireless network by using an ESSID of “Any,” select Disable in the ESSID Broadcast screen. To broad- cast the wireless network’s ESSID, select Enable.

When finished with this screen, click Apply to save all changes. To return to the Wireless Advanced Settings screen, click Back.
