Re: WAP/WEP password not working
These are the two options for your Router. Don't forget to save your settings
WPA is an upgrade to the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) standard
for securing your wireless network. If you would like to secure your
wireless network using WPA, you will need the following:
-
WPA enabled on your Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband
Router
-
WPA support for your wireless clients. If you are using a Dell
TrueMobile wireless client, you can check for the availability of WPA enabled
software update for your wireless client at
http://support.dell.com.
- Log into the Web configuration of your router at http://my.router (or the default address
http://192.168.2.1)
- Click on
Basic Settings.
-
Click on
Wireless Security.
-
Click on the Enable Wireless Security checkbox.
-
Select either WEP or WPA in the Network Authentication list.
To setup WPA
- Enter your pre-shared key. This key must match the key that is used by
each wireless client computer associated to your router.
- Choose a key format. This can be hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F) or
ASCII characters (any key on the keyboard).
- WPA Group Rekey Interval specifies how often the key rotates or
changes.
- WPA Encryption allows you to select 1 of 2 possible encryption methods (TKIP
and AES) - choose one that your wireless clients supports.
- Click NEXT, then Save and Restart to apply the changes.
- Setup the WPA on your wireless clients. Refer to the documentation
that accompanied your wireless clients, or your wireless clients on-line help
system for information on how to setup WPA.
