Internet Access in No Time

To protect your SpeedTouch™ from unauthorized access, you must provide a user name and password. Each time a user wants to access the SpeedTouch™ web interface, the user will be prompted to provide this user name and password before access is granted.

To protect the wireless connections to your SpeedTouch™, move the slide control to the desired security mode.

Following security modes to secure traffic between the SpeedTouch™ and connected wireless stations are available:

Low, which implies in fact that no security measures are taken at all

Medium, implying that traffic is encrypted by means of a static encryption key (WEP).

High, providing the highest security available (WPA) for securing all wireless traffic.

For an overview on all SpeedTouch™ wireless security features, see “ Securing your wireless network” on page 28.
