Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Wizard Wireless Settings: Wi-Fi Protected Setup Wizard If your Wireless Clients support the WPS connection method, this Wi-Fi Protected Setup Wizard can be used to initiate a wireless connection between this device and Wireless clients with a simple click of the WPS button. The Wi-Fi Protected Setup Wizard is specially designed to assist basic network users with a simple, step-by-step set of instructions to connect wireless clients to this router using the WPS method.
Step 2 (continued): After selecting Manual, the following page will appear. On this page the user can view the wireless configuration of this router. The wireless clients should configure their wireless settings to be identical to the settings displayed on this page for a successful connection. This option is for wireless clients that can’t use the WPS method to connect to this device. Click on the Prev button to return to the previous page. Click on the Next button to continue to the next page.
The following parameters will be available for configuration: Wireless Band: Displays the wireless band being configured. In this option we find that the following parameters will be regarding the 2.4 GHz band. Enable Wireless: Check the box to enable the wireless function. If you do not want to use wireless, uncheck the box to disable all wireless functions. Select the time frame that you would like your wireless network enabled. The schedule may be set to Always.
By default the wireless security of this router will be disabled. In this next option the user can enabled or disable wireless security for the 2.4 GHz frequency band. There are two types of encryption that can be used: WEP or WPA/WPA2. Wireless Security Mode: WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the most basic form of encryption that can be used for wireless networks. Even though it is known as a ‘weak’ security method, it is better than no security at all.
Wireless Security Mode: WPA-Personal Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most advanced and up to date wireless encryption method used today. This is the recommended wireless security option. WPA supports two authentication frameworks. Personal (PSK) and Enterprise (EAP). Personal requires only the use of a passphrase (Shared Secret) for security.
