Setting wireless security
To protect your wireless local network against eavesdropping and unauthorised access
to your data, you should set the data encryption.
u Repeater and Ethernet adapter Operating Mode
The encryption selection that is available will depend on your access point.
ì
Check what type of encryption and which keys are set at the access point, and make
the corresponding settings in the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108.
u Operating Mode Access point
The encryption selection depends on which methods are supported by all your wireless
network components.
ì
Set the corresponding encryption of your data on the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108
and then on the other components of your wireless network.
You can use the following security mechanisms:
u WPA2-PSK and WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK (see page 56)
u WAP2 and WPA2 / WPA with authentication server (only in Access point mode,
see page 57)
u WEP encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy), (see page 58)
We recommend using WPA2-PSK if it is supported by all components in your wireless
network.
Note:
If you have selected several access points in repeater mode (see page 25 and
see page 63), only WEP is available for encryption.
