NOTE! If you are using a wireless client when configuring WEP,
after pressing the Apply button you will not be able to have contact

Remember to enter the same keys at every device on the wireless network.
Refer to your wireless client manual how to configure WEP as this will vary
depending on what operating system and wireless client you are using.

This means that it is possible that someone could listen to your traffic, but
they cannot access your computers, router or access the Internet.
Association Control will only stop people to use or communicate over your
wireless network, i.e. they cannot access the HN294d, Internet or any or
your WLAN computers, but they can with special programs listen to your

that are not secured or gaming) you should enable WEP or use some kind
of VPN technology together with the Association Control.
