Wireless Configuration

4-7

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 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 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.

Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure in the 
DG834G Wireless ADSL Firewall Router. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless 
connection to the DG834G.

4.

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

WPA-PSK 
(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 

Note: 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 DG834G to log 
in to the Radius server and must match the value used on the Radius server.
