DSL-G624T    HOW TO SECURE YOUR WIRELESSNETWORK

Out of the box, the DSL-G624T will not have any security on the wireless network. That means anybody within range from the wireless signal can access your local machines and use your internet connection.

If you wish to secure the wireless network, we recommend WEP64/128bit or WPA-PSK.

Secure wireless network with WEP

Step 2) Verify that the firmware is up to date.

The latest version of the firmware can be downloaded from the support section of the website.

Step 7) Select Authentication Type after how your wireless cards are configured. If you are not sure, select Both

Step 8) Select the 1st Encryption Key and invent a 10 digit hexadecimal key(Cipher: 64 bit) or a 26 digit hexadecimal key(Cipher: 128bit). hexadecimal means only the characters abcdef0123456789 are allowed, in any combination.

Step 9) Click Apply. The same page should appear again, with your new settings.

The dialogue "Privacy type is set to WEP. Multiple SSID support will be disabled." will appear, which is a notification that the router cannot have WEP security and Multiple SSID at the same time, therefore will disable Multiple SSID to allow the security. Click OK to accept the notification.
