“PSK String” is for home network security. To set up a PSK (Pre-Shared Key),

click in the circle next to PSK String, then enter at least eight alphanumeric

characters in the text box. All wireless-enabled devices must support WPA and

know the PSK to join the network.

P Important: Wireless networking devices use public radio chan-

nels to transmit voice and data communications. Although WEP

is the standard security technology used today and offers some

degree of security, Qwest cannot guarantee the security, privacy,

or confidentiality of any transmissions made via such devices,

and Qwest makes no assurances or warranties relating to their

use by you. You are responsible for all use of your Qwest DSL ser-

vice, regardless of the source of a transmission, whether by you

or an authorized third party, over your Qwest DSL service.

Wireless MAC Authentication

Selecting Wireless MAC Authentication in the “Advanced Configuration” screen

generates the “Wireless MAC Authentication” screen.

This feature allows the user to control the Wireless LAN Network by denying or

allowing wireless access by specifying the MAC Address of the wireless client(s)

allowed or denied on the wireless network

After changing settings, click Next or Back to continue, or Save and Restart to

make all changes permanent.
