Setting up your wireless router
PIN: The client device has a PIN number (either four or eight digits) that is associated with
WPS. Enable WPS through the GUI shown below. Enter the client's PIN into the Router's
internal registrar (accessed through this GUI). The client will be automatically enrolled into
your wireless network within two minutes.
1. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS): Enabled or Disabled.
2. Personal Identification Number (PIN) Method: In this method, a wireless client wishing to
access your network must supply a 4- or 8-digit PIN to the router. After clicking "Enroll",
you must start the WPS handshaking procedure from the client within two minutes.
3. Router PIN: If an external registrar is available, you can enter in the router's PIN to the
registrar. Click Generate New PIN to change the PIN from the default value, or click
Restore Default PIN to reset the PIN value.
4. Push Button Configuration (PBC) Method: PBC is an alternate method to connect to a
WPS network. Push the Security Sync button located on the back of the router for three
seconds, and then initiate the PBC on the client device. Alternatively, push the "Start
PBC" soft button to start this process.
5. Manual Configuration Method: This section lists the default security settings if not using
WPS.
The router features WPA2, which is the second generation of the WPA-based 802.11i
standard. It offers a higher level of wireless security by combining advanced network
authentication and stronger Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption methods.

Wi-Fi Protected Areas (WPA)

WPA is a new Wi-Fi standard that improves upon the security features of WEP. To use WPA
security, the drivers and software of your wireless equipment must be upgraded to support
it. These updates will be found on your wireless vendor's Web site. There are three types of
WPA security: WPA-PSK (no server), WPA (with radius server), and WPA2.
WPA-PSK (no server) uses what is known as a pre-shared key as the network key. A
network key is a password that is between eight and 63 characters long. It can be a
combination of letters, numbers, or characters. Each client uses the same network key to
access the network. Typically, this is the mode that will be used in a home environment.
WPA (with radius server) is a system where a radius server distributes the network key to
the clients automatically. This is typically found in a business environment.
WPA2 requires Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for encryption of data, which offers
much greater security than WPA. WPA uses both Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and
AES for encryption.
