3.3 Securing your wireless connection
Introduction
We strongly recommend you to protect all wireless communication between any wireless client and your TG788vv3 with a
wireless key. This ensures that:
• Only clients that use the correct Network Name (SSID) and wireless key can connect to access point of your TG788vv3.
• All data passing through the wireless access point of your TG788vv3 is secured by adequate encryption.
Configuration
To secure your wireless network with:
• WPA-PSK encryption, continue with “3.3.1 Configuring WPA(2)-PSK encryption” on page 27.
The wireless connection is secured with a pre-shared key that has been defined by the user. Wireless clients must be
configured with this key before they can connect to your TG788vv3. Your TG788vv3 supports the following WPA-PSK
versions (ordered by descending security).
• WPA encryption (via RADIUS), continue with “3.3.2 Configuring WPA-Enterprise encryption” on page 28.
This encryption is typically used for business networks. Wireless clients will authenticate to a specific Remote
Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server. This RADIUS server then provides the wireless key that must be
used to encrypt its data. The RADIUS server regularly updates this key at a specified interval.

6.3 DMZ
Introduction
The TG788vv3 allows you to configure one local device as a De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) host. This means that:
• None of the TG788vv3 firewall rules will be applied to the DMZ host
• All traffic originating from the Internet will be forwarded to the DMZ host unless there is a specific port forwarding rule
defined or automatically created for a specific type of traffic.
Use a static address for the DMZ host
Make sure that your DMZ host uses a static IP address (you choose a fixed IP address) instead of a dynamic IP address (the
DHCP server assigns an IP address). If you use a dynamic IP address, the device might get a new IP address after some time
and the port forwarding rule will no longer be applied to the device and another device may unexpectedly be acting as the
DMZ host.
How to configure a device as DMZ host
1 Browse to the TG788vv3 web interface.
For more information, see “4.1.1 Accessing the TG788vv3 web interface from your local network” on page 33.
