Enable your Wi-Fi network security - NVG510

Setting a password for your Wi-Fi home network is a smart, easy way to protect your network from unwanted users. Your AT&T Wi-Fi gateway comes with the security On and set to WPA (Wired Equivalent Privacy) by default.  If you have changed the security to OFF, follow these steps to turn it back on.

Enable Wi-Fi Security

1. Go to your gateway settings.
2. Select Home Network > Wireless.
3. Scroll to the Security section.
4. From the Security drop-down, select WPA-PSK.
5. In the Key entry field, enter a new Wi-Fi password (Wireless Key).
   • For 64-bit encryption, enter a 10-digit password made up of numbers and letters a-f or A-F.
   • For 128-bit encryption, enter a 26-digit hexadecimal number made up of numbers and letters a-f or A-F.
6. Select Save.
7. In Password, enter the Device Access Code (located on the side of your gateway).
8. Select Submit.

Once you have successfully enabled or updated your Wi-Fi network security, you’ll need to connect all your Wi-Fi devices with the new password information.
