Enable encryption Wireless Security Checklist Encryption protects data transmitted over a wireless Wireless networks are convenient and easy to install, so network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) and Wired homes with high-speed Internet access are adopting them Equivalency Privacy (WEP) offer different levels of security at a rapid pace. Because wireless networking operates by for wireless communication. sending information over radio waves, it can be more A network encrypted with WPA/WPA2 is more secure vulnerable to intruders than a traditional wired network. than a network encrypted with WEP, because WPA/WPA2 Like signals from your cellular or cordless phones, signals uses dynamic key encryption.

Combine letters and numbers to avoid using standard words that can be found in the dictionary. 3. Enable MAC address filtering WEB: For more information on wireless security, Linksys routers give you the ability to enable Media Access visit www.linksysbycisco.com/security Control (MAC) address filtering. The MAC address is a unique series of numbers and letters assigned to every networking device. With MAC address filtering enabled, wireless network access is provided solely for wireless devices with specific MAC addresses. For example, you can specify the MAC address of each computer in your home so that only those computers can access your wireless network. Wireless-N Gigabit Router 6 Chapter 3 Advanced Configuration Chapter 3: Advanced Configuration After setting up the Router with the Setup Wizard (located on the CD-ROM), the Router will be ready for use. However, if you’d like to change its advanced settings, use the Router’s web-based utility. This chapter describes each web page of the utility and each page’s key functions. You can access the utility via a web browser on a computer connected to the Router. The web-based utility has these main tabs: Setup, Wireless, Security, Access Restrictions, Applications & Gaming, Administration, and Status. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs. NOTE: When first installing the Router, you should use the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM. If you want to configure advanced settings, use this chapter to learn about the web-based utility. Setup > Basic Setup How to Access the Web-Based Utility Internet Setup To access the web-based utility, launch the web browser on The Internet Setup section configures the Router to your your computer, and enter the Router’s default IP address, Internet connection.
