5. Under Security Options, select a radio button for one of the following WPA options:

•WPA2-PSK [AES]. Only computers and wireless devices that support WPA2 can join

the WiFi network.

•WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. This setting allows computers and wireless

devices that support WPA2 or WPA to join the WiFi network.

The WPA2 options use the newest standard for the strongest security, but some older

computers and wireless devices cannot use WPA2. By default, the WPA-PSK [TKIP] +

WPA2-PSK [AES] radio button is selected so that new or old computers and wireless

devices can connect to the WiFi network by using either WPA2 or WPA security.

8. Click the Apply button.

Control the Wireless Radios

The router has internal wireless radios that broadcast signals in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz

range. By default, they are on so that you can connect wirelessly to the router. When the

wireless radios are off, you can still use an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the router.

You can turn the wireless radios on and off with the WiFi On/Off button on the router, or you

can log in to the router and enable or disable the wireless radios. If you are close to the

router, it might be easier to press its WiFi On/Off button. If you are away from the router or

have already logged in it might be easier to enable or disable them.You can also turn the WiFi

radios off and on based on a schedule. (For more information, see Set Up a Wireless

Schedule on page 61.)

Use the WiFi On/Off Button

To turn the wireless radios off and on with the WiFi On/Off button:

Press the WiFi On/Off button on the top of the router for two seconds.

If you turned off the wireless radios, the WiFi On/Off LED and the WPS LED turn off. If

you turned on the wireless radios, the WiFi On/Off LED and the WPS LED light.

Enable or Disable the Wireless Radios

If you used the WiFi On/Off button to turn off the wireless radios, you can’t log in to the router

to turn them back on. You must press the WiFi On/Off button again for two seconds to turn

the wireless radios back on.
