Security Mode. Allows you to select a wireless security mode
to help protect your network. If you select Disable, then your
wireless network is not secure and any wireless device within
range may connect to it. Note: The factory default mode is WPA
or WPA2-Personal. Note: WEP is a well known compromised
security and should not be used.
Encryption. It allows you to select a level of encryption based
on the wireless security mode you choose.
Passphrase. The passphrase key for the gateway. The key can
be from 8 to 63 characters. The factory default passphrase is
equal to the 9-digit serial number of your gateway. The serial
number can be found on the rating label attached to your
wireless gateway. Selecting Show Key toggles the passphrase
between hidden characters and clear text.
Key Renewal. Enter a time period that instructs the device
about how often it should change encryption keys. The default is
3600 seconds.
