7. In the Security Options (WPA/WPA2 Enterprise) section, enter the settings that are
described in the following table.
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
Secret Enter the shared secret (RADIUS password) that is used between the
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mode that is superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.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
300 Mbps).
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.
