Section 4 - Security
Wireless Security
This section will show you the dierent levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The
DIR-605L oers the following types of security:
• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) • WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) • WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
What is WEP?
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and uses the RC4 encryption algorithm. WEP
provides security by encrypting data over your wireless network so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one wireless
device to another.
To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using WEP,
you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a
longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are dened by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange – alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so
you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the network. Four keys can
be dened so that you can change keys easily.

Section 4 - Security
Congure WEP
It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish
wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to the
added overhead.
1. Log into the web-based conguration by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1).
Click on Wireless Setup on the left side.
2. Next to Security Mode, select Enable WEP Wireless Security (basic).
3. Next to Authentication, select either Shared Key or Open. Shared Key
is recommended as it provides greater security when WEP is enabled.
4. Select either 64Bit or 128Bit encryption from the drop-down menu
next to WEP Encryption.
5. Next to Default Key Type, select WEP Key 1 and enter a WEP key that
you create. Make sure you enter this key exactly on all your wireless
devices. You may enter up to four dierent keys either using Hex or
ASCII. Hex is recommended (letters A-F and numbers 0-9 are valid). In
ASCII all numbers and letters are valid.
6. Click Save Settings to save your settings. If you are conguring the
router with a wireless adapter, you will lose connectivity until you
enable WEP on your adapter and enter the same WEP key as you did on the router.

Section 4 - Security
What is WPA?
WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy).
The two major improvements over WEP:
• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a
hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered
with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP.
• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP).
WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specic MAC address, which is
relatively simple to be snied out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to
ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password
between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key
entered on your wireless router or access point.
WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a more
secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

Setting Up Wi-Fi Protection
(WCN 2.0 in Windows Vista)
The DIR-605L 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.
Initial Router Conguration for Wi-Fi Protection
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, tick the Enable checkbox on the Wireless Network window. Use the Current PIN that is
displayed on the Wireless Network window or choose to click the Generate New PIN button or Reset PIN to Default 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.

Section 6 - Setting Up Wi-Fi Protection (WCN 2.0 in Windows Vista)
Setting Up a Congured Router
Once the Router has been congured, you can use the push button on the Router or third party software to invite a newcomer
to join your Wi-Fi protected network. For maximum security, the software method is recommended. However, the push button
method is ideal if there is no access to a GUI.
If you are using the Router’s Wi-Fi Security push button option, simultaneously depress the push button located on the side of
the Router and the button on the client (or virtual button on the client’s GUI). Next click Finish. The Client’s software will then
allow a newcomer to join your secure, Wi-Fi protected network.
If you are using third party software, run the appropriate Wi-Fi Protected System utility. You will be asked to either use the push
button method or to manually enter the PIN. Follow the on-screen instructions.
