Field

Description

 

 

WPA Mode

From the WPA Mode menu, select the enterprise mode:

 

WPA2 [AES]. WPA2 provides a secure connection but some older

 

WiFi devices do not detect WPA2 and support only WPA. If your

 

network includes such older devices, select WPA [TKIP] + WPA2 [AES]

 

security.

 

WPA [TKIP] +WPA2 [AES]. This type of security enables WiFi devices

 

that support either WPA or WPA2 to join the modem router’s WiFi

 

network.

 

 

RADIUS server IP Address

Enter the IPv4 address of the RADIUS server to which the WiFi network

 

can connect.

 

 

RADIUS server Port

Enter the number of the port on the modem router that is used to access

 

the RADIUS server for authentication. The default port number is 1812.

 

 

RADIUS server Shared

Enter the shared secret (RADIUS password) that is used between the

Secret

modem router and the RADIUS server during authentication of a WiFi user.

 

 

8.Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved.

9.Make sure that you can reconnect over WiFi to the network with its new security settings. If you cannot connect over WiFi, check the following:

If your computer or WiFi device is already connected to another WiFi network in your area, disconnect it from that WiFi network and connect it to the WiFi network that the modem router provides. Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first open network without WiFi security that they discover.

If your computer or WiFi device is trying to connect to your network with its old settings (before you changed the settings), update the WiFi network selection in your computer or WiFi device to match the current settings for your network.

Configure WEP Legacy WiFi Security

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security is a legacy authentication and data encryption mode that is superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. WEP limits the WiFi transmission speed to 54 Mbps (depending on the model, the modem router is capable of speeds of up

300Mbps).

To configure WEP security:

1.Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.

2.Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com. A login screen displays.
