Wireless Configuration

Set your wireless adapter according to the authentication scheme you choose for the DG834G 
wireless router. Please refer to 

 for a full explanation of 

each of these options, as defined by the IEEE 802.11g wireless communication standard.

Please refer to 

 for a full explanation of each of the 

following choices, as defined by the IEEE 802.11g wireless communication standard. Choose the 
encryption strength from the drop-down list:

No encryption will be applied. This setting is useful for troubleshooting your wireless connection, 
but leaves your wireless data fully exposed.

When 64 Bit WEP or 128 Bit WEP is selected, WEP encryption will be applied. 

WEP provides some degree of privacy, but can be defeated without great difficulty. If WEP is 
enabled, you can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys. These values 
must be identical on all computers and access points in your network.

There are two methods for creating WEP encryption keys:

•

Passphrase. Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click the 
Generate button. 

•

Manual. 64-bit WEP: Enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). 

 

128-bit WEP: Enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F).

Select the radio button for the key you want to make active. 

To configure WEP data encryption, follow these steps:

1.

Log in to the DG834G firewall at its default LAN address of 

 with its default 

user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and 
password you have set up.

2.

Click the Wireless Settings link in the main menu of the DG834G router.
