WEP is a common protocol that adds security to all Wi-Fi-compliant wireless products. WEP gives wireless networks the equivalent level of privacy protection as a comparable wired network.

Setting up your wireless network adapte

WEP Encryption Keys—After selecting either the 64-bit or 128-bit WEP encryption mode, it is critical that you generate an encryption key. If the encryption key is not consistent throughout the entire wireless network, your wireless networking devices will be unable to communicate with one another. You can enter your key by typing in the hex key manually, or you can type a passphrase into the “Passphrase” field and click “Generate” to create a key. A hex (hexadecimal) key is a combination of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. For 64-bit WEP, you need to enter 10 hex characters. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 hex characters.

For instance:

AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit WEP key C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit WEP key

The WEP passphrase is NOT the same as a WEP key. Your network adapter uses this passphrase to generate your WEP keys, but different hardware manufacturers might have different methods on generating the keys. If you have multiple vendors’ equipment in your network, the easiest thing to do is to use the hex WEP key from your wireless router (or access point) and enter it manually into the hex WEP key table in your network adapter’s configuration screen.

WPA

WPA is a new Wi-Fi standard that improves upon the security features of WEP. To use WPA security, the drivers and software of your wireless equipment must be upgraded to support it. These updates will be found on your wireless vendor’s website. There are three types of WPA security: WPA-PSK (no server), WPA (with radius server), and WPA2.

WPA-PSK (no server) uses what is known as a pre-shared key as the network key. A network key is a password that is between eight and 63 characters long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers, or characters. Each client uses the same network key to access the network. Typically, this is the mode that will be used in a home environment.

WPA (with radius server) is a system where a radius server distributes the network key to the clients automatically. This is typically found in a business environment.

WPA2 requires Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for encryption of data, which offers much greater security than WPA. WPA uses both Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and AES for encryption.

Most Wi-Fi products ship with security turned off. So once you have your network working, you need to activate WEP or WPA and make sure all your wireless devices are sharing the same network key.

IMPORTANT: You must now set all wireless network cards/adapters to match these settings.

Setting up your wireless network adapte

Configuring your Wireless Enhanced G USB adapter to use security

You should already have your wireless router set to use WPA or WEP. Set your Wireless Enhanced G USB network adapter to use the same security settings.

Changing the Wireless Security Settings

The Wireless Enhanced G USB network adapter supports the latest WPA security feature as well as the legacy WEP security standard. By default, wireless security is disabled.

Your Dynex wireless adapter is equipped with the latest security standard called Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2™) and the lega cy security standard called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). It also supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) specification, which simplifies the setup of a wireless network. WPS uses familiar methodologies, such as typing in a Personal Identification Number (PIN) or pushing a button, to enable you to automatically configure network names and strong WPA/WPA2 data encryption and authentication.

Using Wi-Fi protected setup:

• Encryption key if not using WPS

• Personal Identification Number (PIN) method: Your wireless adapter generates a PIN to be entered into your router.

• Push Button Configuration (PBC) method: Your wireless adapter can also connect by using the software pushbutton.

• Manual configuration method: This section lists the default security settings to be set if you are not using WPS.

WPS uses WPA2 for encryption. It does not provide additional security, but standardized the method for securing your wireless network. On your client utility, WPS-enabled networks are indicated by a key icon. You can use either the PBC method or the PIN method to let a device access your wireless network.

To use the PBC method:

1 Push and hold the WPS button (located on the back of your router) for three seconds.

Initiate the WPS procedure on the client utility within two minutes.

2 Open the WNU and select the network name, then click Connect. Your client

automatically exchanges security information and is added to your wireless network. You can also initiate the PBS method from the client side.

To use the PIN method:

1 Open the WNU and select the WPS-enabled network, then click Connect. 2 Choose the PIN method option, then complete the WPS procedure on your router. Your

client is automatically enrolled in your wireless network within two minutes.

To enable securit y, you will first need to determine which standard is u sed by the route r. (See your wireless router’s guide for directions on how to access the security settings.)

To enable the security settings on your adapter:

Troubleshooting

Placement of your wireless networking hardware for optimal performance

Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your wireless router (or access point). Typical indoor operating range for your wireless devices is between 300 and 400 feet. In the same way, your wireless connection and performance will degrade somewhat as the distance between your wireless router (or access point) and connected devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move farther from your wireless router (or access point), connection speed may decrease.

Factors that can weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your network’s radio waves are metal appliances, obstructions, and walls.

If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the computer to a position between five and 10 feet from the wireless router (or access point) in order to see if distance is the problem. If difficulties persist, refer to the manual that accompanied your wireless router.

Note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not

prohibit your wireless network from functioning. If you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help.

You cannot connect to the Internet wirelessly

If you are unable to connect to the Internet from a wireless computer, check the following items:

• Look at the lights on your wireless router. If you’re using a Dynex Wireless Router, the lights should be as follows:

• The power light should be on.

• The connected light should be on, and not blinking.

• The WAN light should be either on or blinking.

• Open your Wireless Networking Utility (WNU) software by clicking on the icon in the system tray at the bottom right corner of the screen. The tray icon should look like this (the icon may be red or green):

• The window that opens should have a list of Available Networks list. Available networks are wireless networks to which you can connect. If you are using a Dynex 802.11g (54g) Router, Dynex54g is the default name.

If you are NOT using a Dynex router please consult your router manufacturer’s user guide for the default name.

The name of your wireless network appears in Available Networks list.

If the correct network name is listed in the Available Networks list, follow these steps to connect wirelessly:

1 Click on the correct network name in the Available Networks list.

Troubleshooting

2 If the network has security (encryption) enabled, you need to enter the network key.

For more information regarding security, please see “Securing your Wi-Fi® Network” on page 12.

3 Within a few seconds, the tray icon in the lower right corner of your screen should turn

green, indicating a successful connection to the network.

The name of your wireless network DOES NOT appear in the list of Available Networks.

If the correct network name is not listed under “Available Networks” in the WNU, try the following troubleshooting steps:

1 Temporarily move the computer, if possible, to 5 to 10 feet away from the wireless

router. Close the WNU and reopen it. If the correct network name now appears under Available Networks, you may have a range or interference problem. See the suggestions listed in “Placement of your wireless networking hardware for optimal performance” on page 20.

2 Using a computer that is connected to the Wireless Router through a network cable (as

opposed to wirelessly), make sure that Broadcast SSID is enabled. This setting is found on the Router’s wireless Channel and SSID configuration page. For detailed instructions on accessing this page and changing settings, see your Wireless Router’s User Manual.

Installation CD does not start WNU

If the installation CD does not start the WNU automatically, it could be that the computer is running other applications that are interfering with the CD drive.

To start the installation manually:

1 If the WNU screen does not appear within 15-20 seconds, open up your CD drive by

double-clicking on the My Computer icon.

2 Double-click on the CD drive that the installation CD has been placed in to start the

installation.

3 Double-click the Files folder, then double-click the Setup.exe icon.

Power LED does not come ON. The network adapter is not working

If the LED indicators are not ON, the problem may be that the network adapter is not connected or is not installed correctly.

Make sure that the network adapter is plugged firmly into the USB port of your computer. Check to see that the drivers for the network adapter have been installed. Right-click on the

My Computer icon on your desktop. Choose Properties and navigate to the Device Manager and see if your network adapter is listed without any errors.

Troubleshooting

The link LED is blinking slowly. You cannot connect to a wireless network or the Internet

If your network adapter appears to be functioning correctly, but you cannot connect to a network or you have a red wireless icon at the bottom of your screen, the problem may be that there is a mismatch between the network name (SSID) settings in your wireless network properties.

Check the SSID settings to see if they match. The SSID is case-sensitive and the spelling on each computer must be exactly the same in order for the network adapter to connect to the wireless router (or access point).

Note: To check the SSID settings or look for an available network, double-click the Signal

Indicator icon to bring up the Wireless Networks screen. Click Add if you do not see the

network you are trying to connect to and type in the SSID.

For more information about setting up an SSID, please refer to your router manufacturer’s user guide.

The link LED is solid, but I cannot connect to the Internet

If you have a signal but cannot get online or obtain an IP address, the problem may be that there is a mismatch between the encryption key settings in your computer and wireless router.

Check the WEP key settings to see if they match. The key is case-sensitive and the spelling on each computer and wireless router must be exactly the same in order for the network adapter to connect to the router (or access point). For more information about encryption, please see “Securing your Wi-Fi® Network” on page 12.

Data transfer is sometimes slow or signal strength is poor

Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity and the throughput performance between devices decreases when the distance between devices increases. Other factors that cause signal degradation are obstructions such as walls and metal appliances. As a result, the typical indoor range of your wireless devices will be between 100 to 200 feet. Note also that connection speed may decrease as you move farther from the wireless router (or access point).

In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, to 5 to 10 feet away from the wireless router. See “Placement of your wireless networking hardware for optimal performance” on page 20.

Changing the wireless channel - Depending on local wireless traffic and interference, switching the wireless channel of your network can improve performance and reliability. The default channel the router is shipped with is channel 11. You may choose from several other channels depending on your region; see your router's (or access point's) user manual for instructions on how to choose other channels.

Troubleshooting

Limiting the wireless transmit rate - Limiting the wireless transmit rate can help improve the maximum wireless range, and connection stability. Most wireless cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate. To change this property, click Start, Control Panel, Network Connections, then double-click your card's connection. In the Properties dialog, select the Configure button on the General tab (Windows 98 users will have to select the Wireless Card in the list box and then click Properties), then choose the Advanced tab and select the rate property. Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically adjust the wireless transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause periodic disconnects when the wireless signal is too weak; as a rule, slower transmission rates are more stable. Experiment with different connection rates until you find the best one for your environment; note that all available transmission rates should be acceptable for browsing the Internet. For more assistance, see your wireless card's literature.

Why are there two wireless utilities in my system tray? Which one should I use?

There are several features and advantages to using the WNU over the Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration utility. We offer a site survey, detailed link information, and adapter diagnosis, to name a few.

It’s essential to know which utility is managing your adapter. We recommend using the WNU.

To use the WNU:

1 Right-click on the network status icon in the system tray and select View Available

Wireless Networks. 2 Click Advanced in the lower left corner of the Available Wireless Networks window. 3 From the Advanced tab, uncheck Use Windows to configure my wireless

network. After the box is unchecked, click OK to close the window.

You are now using the WNU to configure the network adapter.

What's the difference between 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11a, and

802.11n?

Currently there are four levels of wireless networking standards, which transmit data at very different maximum speeds. Each is based on the designation for certifying network standards. The most common wireless networking standard, 802.11b, transmits information at 11 Mbps; 802.11a and 802.11g work at 54 Mbps; and Pre-N works at 108 Mbps. The

802.11n release promises speeds that exceed 802.11g, and up to twice the wireless coverage area. See the following chart for more detailed information.
