To protect your wireless network, you need to setup a security mechanism at both DSL-N13 and the wireless clients. Network authentication Network authentication uses certain types of mechanism to identify authenticated wireless clients. DSL-N13 supports the following authentication methods: Open: This option disables authentication protection for your wireless network. Under the Open mode, any IEEE802.11b/g wireless client can connect to your wireless network. Shared: Shared means using the same WEP keys for authentication and encryption. 802.1X: 802.1X uses RADIUS (Remote Access Dial-Up User Service) server to authenticate wireless clients with a username and password. It can authenticate user with different levels of access right. WPA: WPA stands for WiFi-Protected Access. WPA provides two security modes for Home/SOHO user and enterprise network. The former solution adopts Pre-Shared Key for authentication, and the latter uses the existing 802.1X RADIUS server in the enterprise network to process the authentication requests. WPA - PSK: WPA -PSK (Pre-Shared Key) is the solution for home and SOHO users who have no 802.11X authentication server within the LAN. To setup WPA-PSK, you need to input a passphrase and let the system generate the key. Combination of letters, numbers and non-alphanumeric characters is recommended for ensuring security. Encryption Encryption is used to convert plain text data into unreadable codes with certain type of algorithm before capsulation for wireless transmission. DSL-N13 supports the following encryption methods: WEP: WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It uses 64 or 128-bit static keys. You can let the system generate the WEP keys by inputting a Passphrase. TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) dynamically generates unique keys to encypt every data packet in a wireless session. AES: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a dependable encryption adopted in WPA2 or IEEE802.11i standard. It offers stronger protection and greatly increases the complexity of wireless encryption. TKIP + AES: For a network where WPA clients (using TKIP encryption) and WPA2 clients (using AES encryption) co-exist. Select this option to enable both. How to setup wireless security Open 1.

Setting up access right to DSL-N13 To protect your wired and wireless LAN, we recommend setting up access protection so as to prevent DSL-N13 from being viewed or modified by unauthenticated users. Service restriction DSL-N13 provides a Service Control List (SCL) that can enable or disable services which are used to access the router configuration interface. You can choose allowing HTTP, ICMP from WAN, or allowing HTTP from LAN. After configuration is complete, click Save/Apply to activate the settings. IP address restriction To protect the router from being accessed by unauthenticated user in your LAN, you can restrict the access right to the hosts with certain IP addresses. Click Management -> Access Control -> IP Addresses to setup the IP address for the authenticated network supervisors. Before setting up the IP address restriction, make sure addresses of authenticated hosts are static. Password protection DSL-N13 ADSL also provides three levels of access right: admin, support, and user. Account "admin" has full access to change and view configuration of the router, "support" is for ISP technician to view and keep maintenance to the router, "user" can view the router settings and statistics, as well as to update the software. 1. Click Management -> Access Control -> Passwords in the left side menu to setup passwords for these accounts. 2. Select the account username and fill in old password, and new password (twice). Each passwords contains up to 16 characters or digits. 3. Press Save/Apply to save and activate the settings. Setting up port triggering Some applications such as games, video conferencing, and remote access require specified ports in the firewall to be opened for remote access. You can configure the port settings by selecting an existing application or creating your custom applications. 1. Click Advanced Setup -> NAT -> Port Triggering in the left side menu to open the configuration page. Click Add to create a new rule. 2. Select the service you want to configure and let the system automatically fill in the external and internal port number and protocol type.
