Rep Power: 3 | sorry for poking my nose while you guys are having fun. Well I am trying to secure my wireless broadband connection. Currently my network authentication is OPEN. When I put in WPA mode it asks for following things:- WPA Group Rekey Interval: default is 0 RADIUS Server IP Address: default is 0.0.0.0 RADIUS Port: defaul is 1812 RADIUS Key: what should i fill in it?

| aditya | can you please update your router details, as these things can stay on default for wireless settings on WPA-PSK mode. |

| aditya | I am not sure about this model but would that be possible for you to put a screen shot of your routers WAN setup/ wireless settings page. |

Rep Power: 3 | here goes the screenshot. I noticed today that one doesn't need any password to connect to my network. I am a bit worried as anyone can misuse it. PS: this says that enter the DNS name or ip address for server radius. Capture1.JPG Capture2.JPG Last edited by just4kix; 07-26-09 at 10:24 AM. |

| aditya | there are 2 options as in screenshot 1, there is option to enable WEP (suggested as its bit easy) you can just enable WEP Security and can put security key there otherwise as in screenshot 2, Keep Network Auth as WPA only and in WPA Encryption select PSK after this it should allow you to type encryption key. I am telling this from my own idea and knowledge and never used or checked this router. I am sorry

When I select WPA,it asks for RADIUS Server IP Address. If I leave that field as default and save it,it says invalid ip address. If i change that to my ip address,i just get disconnected from the network. My lappy fails to detect any wireless network after that. | |

Coming to WPA - there's WPA Personal, WPA Enterprise and WPA2 versions of those two. Check if the drop down has selections for WPA Personal or WPA2 Personal. Set WPA Encryption to TKIP - which it already is. In most wireless APs the WPA group key renewal interval is specified in seconds so you could try say about 3600. But when you select WPA with TKIP it should give you an option to specify a WPA Shared key. It should be available somewhere | |
