displayed here. If you don‟t enable security function of the wireless router before WPS is activated, the router will auto set the security to WPA (AES) and generate a set of passphrase key for WPS connection. Passphrase Key: The wireless security key of the router will be displayed here. Config Mode (3): There are „Registrar‟ and „Enrollee‟ modes for the WPS connection. When „Registrar‟ is enabled, the wireless clients will follow the router‟s wireless settings for WPS connection.
2. A complicated (the combination of number, alphabet, even symbol, and long enough) WEP key and WPA passphrase is much safer than simple and short ones. Remember that the wireless client is capable to keep the key or passphrase for you, so you only have to input the complicated key or passphrase once. It‟s not too trouble but will greatly improve security level. 3. You can hide the ESSID of this router by set „Broadcast ESSID‟ option to „Disable‟.

4-3 Glossary Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway‟s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the destination. DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives every computer on your home network an IP address.
A network mask is also a 32-bit binary pattern, and consists of consecutive leading 1‟s followed by consecutive trailing 0‟s, such as 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network mask can also be described simply as “x” number of leading 1‟s. When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address that correspond to 1‟s in the network mask become part of the IP network address, and the remaining bits correspond to the host ID.
