Wireless Configuration

Follow the instructions below to set up and test basic wireless connectivity. Once you have 
established basic wireless connectivity, you can enable security settings appropriate to your needs.

1. Log in to the DG834PN 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 DG834PN firewall.

3. Choose a suitable descriptive name for the wireless network name (SSID). In the SSID box, 

enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The default SSID is Wireless.

4. Set the Region. Select the region in which the wireless interface will operate. 

(Wi-

Fi Protected 
Access Pre-
Shared Key)

WPA Pre-Shared-Key uses a pre-shared key to perform the authentication and generate 
the initial data encryption keys. Then, it dynamically varies the encryption key. For a full 
explanation of WPA, see 

.

: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on 

the client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do include the client 
software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver 
must also support WPA.

User authentication is implemented using 802.1x and RADIUS servers. For a full 
explanation of WPA, see 

.

Fill in the following:

• Radius Server Name/IP Address

 

This field is required. Enter the name or IP address of the Radius Server on your LAN. 

• Radius Port 

 

Enter the port number used for connections to the Radius Server. 

• Radius Shared Key

 

Enter the desired value for the Radius shared key. This key enables the DG834PN to 
log in to the Radius server and must match the value used on the Radius server. 

Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure 

in the DG834PN 108 Mbps RangeMax
