Wireless > Wireless Security

The Wireless Security settings configure the security of
your wireless network. There are six wireless security
mode options supported by the Router: WPA Personal,
WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Enterprise, RADIUS,
and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which is
a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. WPA2
is a more advanced, more secure version of WPA. WEP
stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and RADIUS stands
for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) These
six are briefly discussed here. For detailed instructions
on configuring wireless security for the Router, refer to
“Chapter 2: Wireless Security.”

The basic settings for wireless networking are set on this
screen.

Wireless Network Mode From this drop-down menu,

you can select the wireless standards running on your
network. If you have both 802.11g and 802.11b devices
in your network, keep the default setting, Mixed. If you
have only 802.11g devices, select G-Only. If you have
only 802.11b devices, select B-Only. If you do not have
any 802.11g and 802.11b devices in your network, select

Disable.

Wireless Network Name (SSID) The SSID is the network

name shared among all devices in a wireless network.
The SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless
network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32
characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard).
Make sure this setting is the same for all devices in your
wireless network. For added security, you should change
the default SSID (linksys) to a unique name.

Basic Rate The Basic Rate setting is not actually one rate

of transmission but a series of rates at which the Router
can transmit. The Router will advertise its Basic Rate to the
other wireless devices in your network, so they know which
rates will be used. The Router will also advertise that it will
automatically select the best rate for transmission. The
default setting is Default, when the Router can transmit
at all standard wireless rates (1-2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 11Mbps,
18Mbps, and 24Mbps). Other options are 1-2Mbps, for
use with older wireless technology, and All, when the
Router can transmit at all wireless rates. The Basic Rate
is not the actual rate of data transmission. If you want to
specify the Router’s rate of data transmission, configure

broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it
sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients

hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast
and multicast messages. The default value is 1.

Fragmentation Threshold This value specifies the

maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented
into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet
error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation
Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low
may result in poor network performance. Only minor
reduction of the default value is recommended. In most
cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346.

RTS Threshold Should you encounter inconsistent data

flow, only minor reduction of the default value, 2347, is
recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the
preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will
not be enabled. The Router sends Request to Send (RTS)
frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates
the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the
wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame
to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. The RTS
Threshold value should remain at its default value of

2347.

Troubleshooting

Appendix A:
Troubleshooting

Your computer cannot connect to the Internet.

Follow these instructions until your computer can connect
to the Internet:

• Make sure that the Router is powered on. The Power

LED should be green and not flashing.

• If the Power LED is flashing, then power off all of

your network devices, including the modem, Router,
and computers. Then power on each device in the
following order:

1. Cable or DSL modem

2. Router

3. Computer

• Check the cable connections. The computer should

be connected to one of the ports numbered 1-4 on
the Router, and the modem must be connected to the
Internet port on the Router.

The modem does not have an Ethernet port.

The modem is a dial-up modem for traditional dial-up
service. To use the Router, you need a cable/DSL modem
and high-speed Internet connection.

When you double-click the web browser, you are
prompted for a username and password. If you want to
get rid of the prompt, follow these instructions.

Launch the web browser and perform the following steps
(these steps are specific to Internet Explorer but are similar
for other browsers):

1. Select Tools > Internet Options.

2. Click the Connections tab.

3. Select Never dial a connection.

4. Click OK.

The Router does not have a coaxial port for the cable
connection.

The Router does not replace your modem. You still need
your cable modem in order to use the Router. Connect your
cable connection to the cable modem, insert the setup
CD into your computer, and then follow the on-screen
instructions.

The computer cannot connect wirelessly to the network.

Make sure the wireless network name or SSID is the same
on both the computer and the Router. If you have enabled
wireless security, then make sure the same security
method and key are used by both the computer and the
Router.

You need to modify the settings on the Router.

You cannot use the DSL service to connect manually to
the Internet.

After you have installed the Router, it will automatically
connect to your Internet Service Provider (ISP), so you no
longer need to connect manually.

The DSL telephone line does not t into the Router’s
Internet port.

The Router does not replace your modem. You still need
your DSL modem in order to use the Router. Connect
the telephone line to the DSL modem, insert the setup
CD into your computer, and then follow the on-screen
instructions.

Open the web browser (for example, Internet Explorer or
Firefox), and enter the Router’s IP address in the address
field (the default IP address is 192.168.1.1). When
prompted, leave the User name field blank and enter the
password to the Router (the default is admin). Click the
appropriate tab to change the settings.
