How to Set Up and Test Basic Wireless Connectivity
Follow the instructions below to set up and test basic wireless connectivity. Once you have
established basic wireless connectivity, you can enable security settings appropriate to your needs.
1. Log in to the MBR814 firewall at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default
user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and
password you have set up.
2. Click the Wireless Settings link in the main menu of the MBR814 firewall.
3. Choose a suitable descriptive name for the wireless network name (SSID). In the SSID box,
enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The default SSID is Wireless.
Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure in the 54
Mbps Mobile Broadband Router MBR814. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless
connection to the MBR814.

WPA-PSK
(Wi-Fi Protected
Access
Pre-Shared Key)
WPA Pre-Shared-Key uses a pre-shared key to perform the authentication and generate
the initial data encryption keys. Then, it dynamically varies the encryption key. For a full
explanation of WPA, see “WPA Wireless Security” on page D-8.
Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on
the client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do include the client
software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver
must also support WPA.
WPA-802.1x User authentication is implemented using 802.1x and RADIUS servers. For a full
explanation of WPA, see “WPA Wireless Security” on page D-8.
Fill in the following:
• Radius Server Name/IP Address
This field is required. Enter the name or IP address of the Radius Server on your LAN.
• Radius Port
Enter the port number used for connections to the Radius Server.
• Radius Shared Key
Enter the desired value for the Radius shared key. This key enables the MBR814 to log
in to the Radius server and must match the value used on the Radius server.
