N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000Bv3

Security Options: WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and

WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK Mixed Mode

WPA encryption is built into all hardware that has the Wi-Fi-certified seal. This seal means that the product is authorized by the Wi-Fi Alliance (http://www.wi-fi.org/) because it complies with the worldwide single standard for high-speed wireless local area networking.

These types of wireless security options use a pre-shared key (PSK), which is the same as a passphrase, wireless network password, or network key. For help with WPA settings on your wireless computer or device, see the instructions that came with your product.

You can select from the following wireless PSK security options:

WPA-PSK [TKIP]. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides strong data security with Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption. This option supports speeds of up to 54 Mbps only.

WPA2-PSK [AES]. Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2) provides strong data security with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. This is the preset wireless security that is enabled by default. WPA2 provides the most reliable security. This option supports speeds of up to 150 Mbps. If not all clients in your network support WPA2, select WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK mixed mode.

WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK is referred to as mixed mode, which supports a combination of TKIP and AES encryption for both WPA and WPA2 clients. For WPA clients, this option supports speeds of up to 54 Mbps only. For WPA2 clients, this option supports speeds of up to 150 Mbps.

To change the WPA wireless security option and passphrase:

1. Select BASIC > Wireless.

The Wireless Settings screen displays.

2. In the Security Options section, select one of the WPA options with PSK:

WPA-PSK [TKIP]

WPA2-PSK [AES]

WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]

3.In the associated Passphrase field, enter the passphrase that you want to use.
