If your wireless router does not support this feature, you will need to set up the wireless security manually and you can skip this section. We are using the AWLH3028v2 and the AR570W Airlink101 Wireless 150 Router to illustrate the following setup instructions. Step 4.6.1 Open the Airlink101 802.11g Wireless LAN Monitor. Click the Wi-Fi Protect Setup tab. Choose your configuration method: 21 -For Push Button method, click Push Button Config (PBC) button, continue to Step 4.6.2 -For Pin Input Config method, click Pin Input Config (PIN) button, continue to Step 4.6.3a Step 4.6.2 When you see this window pops up, within the following 2 minutes, push the Easy Setup Button (i.e. WPS button) on the back of the router and release it right away. The router will now start to synchronize the security settings with the wireless PCI adapter. The connection will be built in few seconds. 22 Step 4.6.3a If you choose the Pin Code method, click Yes when prompted with the question “Do you want to select a specific AP?”. Select the Access Point that you want to connect, and then click Select. 23 Write down the PIN Code on a piece of paper. (The following steps are different for each router. Please refer to the user’s manual of your router for detailed instructions.) Step 4.6.3b Log on to the router AR570W’s web configuration page from the browser (i.e. Internet Explore or Mozilla Firefox) and click on Wireless. Then click WPS. Step 4.6.3c Make sure that the Enable WPS is NOT checked. Enter the Pin Code in the Configure by Client PinCode box and click Start PIN. 24 After a few moments both the router configuration screen and the adapter configuration screen should show a message telling you that a connection is established. Note: If you cannot connect successfully with WPS, you need to log in to your router’s configuration and make sure the WPS feature is enabled. 25 4.7 Configuring Encryption This section describes the available encryption types and how to configure them. In most cases, encryption type will be automatically detected by the wireless adapter; all you need to do is to enter the Network key, as described in Section 3, Step 3.3. If you are creating a custom profile, you need to manually configure the encryption settings. The encryption settings you configure must match the settings on the AP or wireless router you wish to connect to. Please follow the instructions below. Open the Wireless LAN Monitor utility, click Profile tab and then click Add. The available options of wireless network encryption settings are: Disable: No encryption in use WEP: The most popular but least secure form of encryption (Open System/Shared Key) WPA/WPA2-PSK: The most secure and recommended level of encryption 26 4.7.1 Configuring WEP encryption Select WEP from the Data encryption box. Under Network Authentication, select either Shared key or Open System, depending on the router settings. If your WEP key is 5 or 13-digit, alphanumeric : • Check ASCII and enter your WEP key into the box next to Passphrase If you use Passphrase to setup the WEP encryption for your router : • Check PASSPHRASE and enter your key into box next to Passphrase. If your WEP key is 10 or 26-digit, hexadecimal (0~9, A~F) : • Key Index is the key of the router that is currently in use. Enter the network security key that matches the one on the router to Network key and Confirm network key boxes. Click OK to save your settings. 27 4.7.2 Configuring WPA/WPA2-PSK Encryption (for home users) Select WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK from the Network Authentication box. Under Data encryption select either AES or TKIP depending on the settings for your router. Enter the encryption key that the router is using into the Network Key, Confirm network key boxes. Click OK to save your settings. 28 4.7.3 Configuring WPA/WPA2 Encryption (for corporate networks) Select WPA 802.1x / WPA2 802.1x from the Network Authentication box and click OK. The following window will pop up after few seconds. 29 You can choose a network authentication method: Protected EAP or Smart Card or other Certificate then click Settings to configure the advanced settings. 1) Choose Protected EAP then click on Settings to configure the advanced securitysettings. 30 Configure the advanced security settings for PEAP then click OK. Refer to your system administrator for information about what settings you should enter here. 31 2) Choose Smart Card or other Certificate then click on Settings to configure theadvanced security settings. Refer to your system administrator for information about what settings you should enter here. 32 4.8 Ad-hoc and Peer-to-Peer Wireless Networks Ad-hoc networking is used when you want to connect two or more computers together without going through a router. In ad-hoc mode, you lose a lot of the features that come with a router. The maximum connection speed drops to 11Mbps. In addition, WEP encryption is the only security available in ad-hoc mode. To set up ad-hoc mode, you will need to create a n...
