Security

Type

Description Level of Security

WPA Wi-Fi Protected Access

WPA/WPA2 is more secure than WEP, because WPA/WPA2 uses dynamic

key encryption.

WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy

WEP may be the only option available on some older devices that do not

support WPA.

RADIUS

Remote Authentication Dial-In User

Service

Only use when a RADIUS server is connected to your router

Encryption: Choose from TKIP and AES to select an encryption method.

Passphrase: Enter a new passphrase that is between 8 and 63 characters.

Key Renewal: Enter a Key Renewal period that tells your router how often it should change the encryption keys. The default Key

Renewal period is 3600 seconds.

Chapter 6 Wireless Security Information

Wireless networking, like any radio signal that travels through the air, can be intercepted by other devices. Here's how you can protect the

information that travels over your wireless network:

1. Change the default wireless network name (SSID)

The name of your wireless network is called a Service Set Identifier (SSID) and was set by the factory. Your VIZIO router has three

SSIDs (see

Features for information about your SSIDs). Consider changing the network name to something unique to make sure it is not

the same as other wireless networks that your router may detect in the area. Do not use personal information because others with will

be able to see that when searching for a wireless network.

2. Set a username and password

From the factory no username or password is set to open the Router Settings App. To keep your router safe from hackers, set a

username and password. See

Router Auto Login for information on setting a username and password.

3. Hide your Network Name (SSID)

Hide your network name (SSID) so people who are not on your network cannot see it in their list of available networks. To hide your

SSID:

a. Select the Wireless menu option.

b. Click Advanced.

c. Select the Off button next to SSID Broadcast.

d. Click Save Changes.

General Network Security Guidelines

Password-protect all computers on the network and individually password protect sensitive files.

Change passwords on a regular basis.

Install anti-virus software and personal firewall software.

Disable file sharing (peer-to-peer). Some applications may open file sharing without your consent and/or knowledge.

Additional Security Tips

Keep your router away from exterior walls and windows.

Use strong passphrases that are at least eight characters in length. Combine letters and numbers to avoid using standard words that can

be found in the dictionary.
