You can use the SBG941 as an access point for a wireless LAN (WLAN) without 
changing its default settings. 

To enable security for your WLAN, you can do the following on the SBG941: 

• 

Encrypt wireless LAN transmissions  

• 

Restrict wireless LAN access to further prevent unauthorized WLAN intrusions using 
the 

Connect at least one computer to the SBG941 Ethernet port to perform configuration. 
Do not attempt to configure the SBG941 over a wireless connection. 

You need to configure each wireless client (station) to access the SBG941 LAN as 
described in 

. 

Another step to improve wireless security is to place wireless components away from 
windows. This decreases the signal strength outside the intended area. 

To prevent unauthorized viewing of data transmitted over your WLAN, you must encrypt 
your wireless transmissions. Choose one: 

If all of your wireless clients support 
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), 
Motorola recommends configuring 
WPA on the SBG941 

If you use a local, pre-shared key (WPA-PSK) 
passphrase, you must configure the identical passphrase 
to the SBG941 on each wireless client. Home and small-
office settings typically use a local passphrase.  

Otherwise, configure WEP on the 
SBG941 

You must configure the identical WEP key to the 
SBG941 on each wireless client. 

 

If all of your wireless clients support WPA encryption, Motorola recommends using WPA 
instead of WEP.  

For new wireless LANs, Motorola recommends purchasing client adapters that support 
WPA encryption.
