3.3 Connecting your wireless client by scanning a QR code

Introduction
k
Your TG588v v2 allows you to generate a Quick Response (QR) code that contains all wireless settings that are needed to
connect to the access point of your TG588v v2. You are then able to connect to the TG588v v2 wireless network by
scanning the generated code.
Target devices
o.u
This connection method is typically used for tablets and smartphones.
Requirements
Your wireless client must have:
• Your TG588v v2 is using the default network name (SSID) and wireless key. These settings are also printed on the
product label.
• Your TG588v v2 must use WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK encryption.
• A camera to scan the code.

3.4 Securing your wireless connection

Introduction
k
We strongly recommend you to protect all wireless communication between any wireless client and your TG588v v2 with a
wireless key. This ensures that:
• Only clients that use the correct Network Name (SSID) and wireless key can connect to access point of your TG588v v2.
• All data passing through the wireless access point of your TG588v v2 is secured by adequate encryption.
o.u
Encryption types
The list below gives you an overview of the encryption types supported by your TG588v v2 and ordered by descending
security level; you will find the highest level of security at the top of the list:
• WPA-Enterprise (WPA-802.1X or simply WPA) encryption:
Wireless clients will authenticate to a specific Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server. This
RADIUS server then provides the wireless key that must be used to encrypt its data. The RADIUS server regularly
updates this key at a specified interval.
• WPA-Personal (WPA-PSK) Encryption:
The wireless connection is secured with a pre-shared key that has been defined by the user. Wireless clients must be
configured with this key before they can connect to your TG588v v2. Your TG588v v2 supports the following WPA-PSK
versions (ordered by descending security):


.c
WPA2 PSK: the most recent and most secure version of WPA-PSK.
Choose this version if you are sure that all your wireless clients support WPA2-PSK.
WPA+WPA2 PSK: this is a mixed mode.
WPA2-PSK is the preferred encryption type, but wireless clients that do not support WPA2-PSK can still use
WPA-PSK as encryption type.
Choose this option if not all of your wireless clients support WPA2-PSK, or if you are not sure. Wireless clients that
support WPA2-PSK will use WPA2-PSK, the others will use WPA-PSK.
DJ
• WEP Encryption:
The least safe encryption type used for wireless connections. Like WPA-PSK it uses a user-defined key, but WEP has
been proven to have security issues.
Although your TG588v v2 allows you to use WEP or no security, we strongly advise against using one of them!
Configuration
To secure your wireless network with:
• WPA-PSK encryption, continue with “3.4.1 Configuring WPA(2)-PSK encryption” on page 25.
• WPA encryption (via RADIUS), continue with “3.4.2 Configuring WPA-Enterprise encryption” on page 26.

Introduction
k
The TG588v v2 allows you to configure one local device as a De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) host. This means that:
• None of the TG588v v2 firewall rules will be applied to this device.
• All traffic originating from the Internet will be forwarded to this devices unless there is a specific port forwarding rule
defined or automatically created for a specific type of traffic.
o.u
Use a static address for the DMZ host
Make sure that your DMZ host uses a static IP address (you choose a fixed IP address) instead of a dynamic IP address (the
DHCP server assigns an IP address). If you use a dynamic IP address, the device might get a new IP address after some time
and the port forwarding rule will no longer be applied to the device and another device may unexpectedly be acting as the
DMZ host.
How to configure a device as DMZ host

2 Click WAN Services. The WAN services page appears.
3 In the upper-right corner, click show advanced. The DMZ section appears.
4 Switch Enabled to
.c .
5 In the Destination box, type the IP address of the device that you want to use as the DMZ host.
6 Optionally, you can make exceptions on the DMZ by creating port mappings to direct specific traffic to other devices. To
do this, click Add new port mapping under Port forwarding table.
7 Click Save. DMZ is now active.
