There are different WiFi security encryption standards. As per your operating system and the compatibility of WiFI adapters you can configure the settings accordingly. Details of the WiFi standards and their application will be explained in a separate post. Now we can select the most secured format. Select the SSID (Which has been set in the previous step) Select WPA2-PSK from the network Authentication drop down menu Enter a non guessable key (No dictionary words) mixed with figures and characters in WPA Pre Shared Key field. In WPA group interval field, you can enter 3600 (This is the interval between the keys are refreshed means of you set 100 your keys will be refreshed every 100 seconds) Set the WPA encryption to AES Click Save Apply MAC Filtering Mac filtering will give you additional foolproof WiFi security. MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique number of each network hardware. This is the identity of a machine . There will not be two network cards (Any type) with a same MAC address. This is the manufacture set hard coded one. Through the MAC filtering you can optionally allow or deny a particular WiFi device on your network. You have to enter the MAC address of the client machines in the Modem to allow or deny a particular machine. For example You have four laptops in a network and you want to enable MAC filtering. For this the MAC address of each machines to be entered in the Modem for connectivity, means you have to save the addresses of all four machines in your Modem. How to find MAC address For Windows PC go to start > Run ant type cmd Then type ipconfig/all and you will get some values as displayed. Note down the physical address of WiFi adaptor This is your MAC address.

Click on the MAC filter menu of the Modem configuration page. In this page you can see MAC Restrict mode Disabled , Allow and Deny. The default setting is Disabled. Click on the Add button below and enter the noted down MAC address .
Important: You might have noted down the MAC Address like this 02-14-C4-C2-98-26 but if you enter like this Modem will display an error message invalid MAC address. You have to replace the - with : means to enter the address like 02:14:C4:C2:98:26 Then click save/apply button. Now your MAC address has been added. Like this way enter the MAC addresses of all the machines intended to use with the WiFi network. Now you can optionally allow or deny a particular or group of machines on your WiFi network. If you want to allow one or more machines Set the Allow option and select the MAC addresses of corresponding machines to be allowed. To deny a particular machine , set the Deny option and select the machine to be denied. Advanced settings

Silki Garg November 21, 2010 at 5:36 PM Securing your wifi routers is the prime thing before starting to use it. I have seen many people even leaving their routers open. Some of the even do not care to change their default passwords and login details. I just prepared a list of more than 500 models of routers and their default passwords. This link is there in my name.

are blocked due to which i could not able to do facetime. Can you please tell me how to fix it? Thanks in advance.
Sujith November 30, 2010 at 11:18 AM Hi Jitan, I have no experience with facetime. In the PPPoE mode by default the ports are blocked. You need to open the required ports same as in the case of torrents applications. Go through thsi http://foribb.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html and you will get some idea about the port forwarding. If you are facing difficulty in opening the port you are free to contact.

Harvinder singh November 4, 2011 at 11:03 AM even i had similar problem with my wifi connection while connecting my mobile with zte modem. The mistake i was doing was that i havent kept my modem always open for connection. I always used to connect by giving user name and passward which alows only connection with the pc where i have looged in. Once i have st username and passward n MODEM for BSNL broadband connectivity ,the connection became always open once the modem is switched on.This solved the problem of accesssing internet. I hope once you make this configuration the connection will work, also enable for 801.1X setting. Reply
