Wireless Security Guide

This guide will take you through the process of configuring, changing or checking the

wireless security settings on an existing wireless network.

This guide will not assist you to setup a new wireless network. Please refer to the

wireless setup document for your model available from the support section of the

NetComm*or Dynalink** website.

Any changes to your wireless security settings will

require you to reconfigure wirelessly connected

devices to use the new security settings. Please

ensure that you have your wireless setup guide handy

for this.

Step 1: Selecting a wireless security type:

There are a number of different types of wireless security to select from.

Before changing your settings, check the types of security available on your

modem/router and then consult your wireless adapter manufacturer to ensure your

wireless adapter is compatible with your chosen security type.

The most commonly used security types are:

- WEP (64bit or 128bit)

- WPA (Radius)

- WPA-PSK

- WPA2 (Radius)

- WPA2-PSK

The majority of wireless adapters should support one (or all) of the above security

types.

You will be unable to utilise Radius server

authentication without having a Radius server in place

and configured on your network.

Step 2: Selecting a wireless security key:

Once you have chosen which wireless security type you want to use on your network,

you will then need to create your wireless security key or wireless password.

Depending on the security type you choose, you will have the option of using either an

ASCII or HEX format key.

ASCII refers to any letter or number you can see on your keyboard.

HEX refers to the letters A to F and the numbers 0 to 9.

You will need to ensure that your security key is the correct length. Your

modem/router will display the required number of characters (letters and/or numbers)

you need.

Step 3: Setting up your wireless security:

Please ensure that your modem/router is connected to your computer using an

ethernet cable before continuing.

1. Navigate to http://192.168.20.1 in a web browser.

2. Enter “admin” as both the username and password before pressing the Login button.

3. Select the Wireless 2.4 GHZ Tab.

4. This is the basic wireless tab where you have the option to change the wireless

security key. After making any change to the security key select the Save and apply

the changes button.

5. If you would like to use a different wireless security type click on the Switch to

advanced view option at the bottom of the page.

6. Select the Wireless 2.4 GHZ option from the “Network Setup” menu.

7. Select the wireless security type you would prefer to use from the Authentication

field(we’re using WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK for the example).

8. Select the Encryption type you would prefer to use from the Encryption field. We are

using TKIP / AES for the example.

9. After selecting your desired security and encryption type, enter the wireless security

key you would like to use into the “Pre-Share Key” section and click “Save”.

Any changes to your wireless security settings will require you to reconfigure any wirelessly

connected devices to use the new security settings. You will now need to re-setup any

wirelessly connected computers with the new wireless security key. Please ensure that you

have your wireless setup guide handy for this.
