The Wireless Tab - Wireless Security

The Wireless Security settings configure the security of your wireless network. If you do not want to use wireless security, keep the default, Disabled. There are four wireless security mode options supported by the Router: WPA Pre-Shared Key, WPA RADIUS, RADIUS, and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, while RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) These three are briefly discussed here. For detailed instructions on configuring wireless security for the Router, proceed to “Appendix B: Wireless Security.”

Wireless Security

WPA-Preshared Key. Select TKIP or AES from the WPA Algorithm drop-down menu. Enter a WPA Shared Key of 8-32 characters. Then enter the Group Key Renewal period, which instructs the Router how often it should change the encryption keys.

When you have finished making changes on this screen, click the Save Settings button to save the changes, or click the Cancel Changes button to undo your changes.

wpa (wi-fi protected access): a wireless security protocol using TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) encryption, which can be used in conjunction with a RADIUS server.

wep (wired equivalent privacy): a method of encrypting network data transmitted on a wireless network for greater security.
