Configure Wireless Security (recommended)
1. Enable WEP Encryption (optional)
WEP is a wireless privacy protection. It will encrypt the data you are transmitting.There are 2 options,
using either 64- or, 128 - bit WEP Encryption (depending on the capability of your client wireless
card). It is strongly recommended that you enable WEP encryption.
To enable WEP, enter
http://192.168.1.1
in the URL Address text box of your Internet browser and
press the Enter key. Login and click on "Advanced Settings" in the left hand menu. Select wireless
Security.Then from the pull down menu select "WEP Only" and than click "Save Settings".
The WEP configuration page will appear.
Leave the "WEP Mode", "Entry Method", "Key Provisioning" and "Default Key ID" default values.
Checkmark the box after "Passphrase" and fill in a passphrase. Now you have to click "Save Settings"
on the bottom of the page.This action will automatically generate a series of 4 codes/keys.
To ensure that the other devices in your network have the same WEP settings, please make sure that
the WEP settings in your other devices are identical to the generated code behind "Key 1".
For further information and explanation on security, please check the manual on the CD.
2. Specify MAC Filtering (optional)

on their unique hardware (MAC) address.To enable this feature, click on Advanced Settings
