4-2 Securing My Wireless

v1.1, May 2008

WEP connections can take slightly longer to establish. Also, WEP, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK

encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer, and can cause significant

performance degradation with a slow computer.

To configure the wireless network, you can:

• Manually specify your SSID and your wireless security settings. The Wireless-N

AccessPoint/Bridge provides two screens for configuring the wireless settings: the basic

Wireless Settings screen, which you access under Setup in the main menu, and the Advanced

Wireless Settings screen.

• Use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement

WPA/WPA2 security on both the router and the client device. If the clients in your network

are WPS capable, you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and

implement WPA/WPA2 security on both the bridge and the client device.
