Wireless

In this section you can enable the wireless security features. USRobotics strongly recommends that you enable some form of wireless security so that unauthorised clients are not able to access your network. All the wireless devices you want to connect to the network must have the same security settings including the pass phrase or key that you use to secure your wireless network.

Note: For your wireless security settings, it is recommended that you select the WPA2 and WPA (PSK) or WPA2 and WPA with 802.1x (RADIUS) network authentication using TKIP and AES encryption for the most secure wireless network.


Network name: This is the name (also called an SSID) that identifies your wireless network. To change your Network name, see the Wireless Setup page.

Select the Network authentication that you want the wireless network to use. You can select from the following methods and enter the pass phrase or key:

Note: Not all wireless clients support AES encryption when using WPA (PSK) security. TKIP encryption with WPA (PSK) is supported by most wireless clients. You can assign the router WPA (PSK) security with the TKIP and AES encryption to cover both AES and TKIP clients.

Note: Not all wireless clients support AES encryption when using WPA (PSK) security. TKIP encryption with WPA (PSK) is supported by most wireless clients. You can assign the router WPA (PSK) security with the TKIP and AES encryption to cover both AES and TKIP clients.

Note: The setting of None is not recommended since without any encryption enabled, your network will be vulnerable to outside malicious attacks
