3.0 Securing a wireless network

To avoid having uninvited guests probing your wireless network we strongly recommend securing your wireless network. There are several security methods which can secure the network at different levels. To apply a method to your network it is required that all wireless network devices support this method. The strongest method of security is WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access).
The strongest method of security is WPA2 AES. It is recommended to use this type of security. However, it is possible that (older) wireless hardware is not able to use this type of security, but can only use WPA-TKIP or WEP. Refer to the documentation of your hardware to be sure if your hardware can use WPA2 AES.
If you wish to use WPA2 AES security, continue with paragraph 3.1 (recommended). If you wish to use WEP security, continue with paragraph 3.2

3.1 WPA2 AES security

characters. For WEP encryption you are only allowed to use numbers from 0 till 9 and the letters a till z. Do not enter special characters or space bar.
Please note, if you have chosen WEP as wireless encryption, the WPS functionality will be disabled.

3.3 Access Control

A MAC Address Access List ( ACL )has the ability to let onl y aut hori zed clients connect to the network. MAC addresses can be added/deleted and edited from the ACL list depending on the MAC Access Policy. If you choose 'Allowed Listed', only those clients whose wireless MAC addresses are in the access control list will be able to connect to your router. When 'Deny Listed' is selected, these wireless clients on the list will not be able to connect to your router. To access the Wireless NetworkAccess Control:
