You do not have to select the specific wireless security encryption mode and input a long encryption passphrase each time a wireless user connects to your network. Instead you only have to press a button on wireless user's device (assuming WPS is supported by that device) and push the `WPS' button on the back of the HW2R1, and WPS will automatically configure your wireless security settings and wireless connection. This Smart Repeater supports two types of WPS modes: Push-Button Configuration (PBC), and PIN code. If you want to use PBC, you have to push a specific button on the device of the wireless user (usually titled WPS) to start the WPS mode. In addition the HW2R1 must be activated for WPS mode for the connection to work. You can push Reset/WPS button of the Smart 68 Repeater, or click `Start PBC' button in the web configuration interface to do this; if you want to use a PIN code, you have to know the PIN code of the wireless device and switch it to WPS mode, then provide the PIN code of the wireless device you wish to connect to the Smart Repeater. The detailed instructions are below: Please click `Wireless Home' from the left side menu, then click `WPS', and the following message will be displayed: 1 2 3 4 5 Here are descriptions of every setup items: Enable WPS (1) Check this box to enable WPS function, uncheck it to disable WPS. Wi-Fi Protected WPS-related system information will be displayed Setup Information here: (2) WPS Status: If the wireless security (encryption) 69 function of this wireless Smart Repeater is properly set, you'll see `Configured' message here. If wireless security function has not been set, you'll see `Not configured'. Self PIN code: This is the WPS PIN code of this wireless Smart Repeater. This code is useful when you need to build wireless connection by WPS with other WPS-enabled wireless devices. SSID: The SSID of the Smart Repeater will be displayed here. Authentication Mode: The wireless security authentication mode of the Smart Repeater will be displayed here. If you do not enable the security function of the Smart Repeater before WPS is activated, the Smart Repeater will automatically set the security to WPA (AES) and generate a set passphrase key for a WPS connection. Passphrase Key: The wireless security key of the Smart Repeater 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 Smart Repeater's wireless settings for WPS connection. When `Enrolle' mode is enabled, the Smart Repeater will follow the wireless settings of wireless client for WPS connection. Click `Start PBC' to start Push-Button style WPS setup procedure. The Smart Repeater will wait for WPS requests from wireless clients for 2 minutes. The `Wireless' LED on the Smart Repeater will be on steadily for 2 minutes while the Smart Repeater waits for incoming WPS requests. 70 Configure via Push Button (4) Configure via client PinCode (5) Please input the PIN code of the wireless client you wish to connect, and click `Start PIN' button. The `WLAN' LED on the wireless Smart Repeater will be steady on when this wireless Smart Repeater is waiting for incoming WPS request. 71 2-7-6 Security Tips for Wireless Network Here are some quick tips to help you improve the security level of your wireless network: 1. Never use simple words (like school, apple and computer) as WEP encryption or WPA passphrase security keys. [. . . ] This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. Using the broadband Smart Repeater's NAT capability, you can access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP. Port: Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to distinguish one network application/protocol over another. Below is a list of common applications and protocol/port numbers: Application Telnet FTP SMTP POP3 H. 323 SNMP SNMP Trap HTTP PPTP Protocol Port Number TCP TCP TCP TCP TCP UCP UDP TCP TCP 23 21 25 110 1720 161 162 80 1723 5631 5632 PC Anywhere TCP PC Anywhere UDP PPPoE: Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet.
