SettingUpWi-FiProtection
(WCN2.0inWindowsVista)
The Router supports Wi-Fi protection, referred to as WCN 2.0 in Windows Vista. The instructions for setting this up
depend on whether you are using Windows Vista to congure the Router or third party software.
InitialRouterCongurationforWi-FiProtection
When you rst set up the Router, Wi-Fi protection is disabled and uncongured. To enjoy the benets of Wi-Fi protection,
the Router must be both enabled and congured. There are three basic methods to accomplish this: use Windows
Vista’s built-in support for WCN 2.0, use software provided by a third party, or use the traditional Ethernet approach.
If you are running Windows Vista, use the WPS Conguration drop-down menu on the Security window to select
Enabled. Use the Current PIN that is displayed on the Security window or choose to click the Device PIN Generate
button.
If you are using third party software to set up Wi-Fi Protection, carefully follow the directions. When you are nished,
proceed to the next section to set up the newly-congured Router.
