Wireless Router COnfiguration

These instructions are meant for residents of Palo Verde, Verano Place, Gabrielino, and Santiago apartments.

Use the following checklist to ensure that your computer is configured correctly for use in Palo Verde, Verano Place, Gabrielino, and Santiago apartments.

   1. You should connect an ethernet cable from wall jack directly into the WAN port on your router/access point.

   2. We recommend that you have some kind of encryption enabled- at least WEP, and preferably WPA or WPA2 which are far more secure than WEP.

   3. We also recommend (for increased security) that you enable MAC filtering. This feature allows you to identify which wireless cards the router will "speak" to, and it can specify that your router ignore all other ethernet cards. This ensures that only computers you approve of can use your access point. You can find your MAC address by clicking Start -> Run, typing "cmd", clicking "Ok", and then typing "ipconfig /all" in the console window that pops up. Your MAC address is listed next to Physical Address. If you have more than one network adapter, such as an ethernet and wireless, you probably have more than one MAC address. Make sure to use the one from the wireless adapter.

IMPORTANT NOTE: ResNet advises against purchasing a wireless "router" and instead recommends that residents purchase a wireless "access point". They are cheaper and provide the same wireless access and security without complications such as Network Address Translation (NAT), DHCP, and Layer 3 isolation. Please call us at 949-824-6375 if you have any questions!

The following is a guide to give you a general idea of how to configure your router/access point. The guide uses a Linksys WRT54G as a basis.

Step 1 – Resetting

Step 7 – Configure Wireless WEP or WPA Security Key

You must secure your wireless network, failure to do so may result in disconnection by ResNet. We recommend that you use WPA instead of WEP.

WPA

For WPA (recommended)

    * Click “Wireless”

    * Click “Wireless Security”

    * Select “WPA Pre-Shared Key” in the “Security Mode” field

    * Set the "WPA algorithm" to "TKIP"

    * Type in your WPA Shared Key. It should be between 8 and 32 characters- the longer the better. Make sure it is something you can remember but that is hard to guess. You may want to write it down, temporarily, so that you can remember it for when you configure your computer to connect to the now-secure access point.

    * Click “Save Settings”

For WEP:

    * Click “Wireless”

    * Click “Wireless Security”

    * Select “WEP” in the “Security Mode” field

    * Bubble “1” under the “Default Transmit Key” field

    * Select “128 bits 26 hex digits”

    * Enter a desired passphrase into the “Passphrase” field

    * Click “Generate”

    * Carefully write down the code generated in the “Key 1” field on paper, and store it in a safe place.  THIS IS YOUR WEP KEY, it will be needed later on.

    * Click “Save Settings”
