Security

Security System

Select the desired option, and then enter the settings for the selected method:
Disabled - No security is used. Anyone using the correct SSID can connect to your network.
WEP - The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before transmission, but the encryption system is not

very strong.

WPA/WPA2 Personal - Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than

WEP, and should be used if possible. WPA Personal is the version of WPA which does NOT require a
Radius Server on your LAN.

WEP

Authentication Type Normally this can be left at the default value of "Automatic." If that fails, select the appropriate value -

"Open System" or "Shared Key." Check your wireless card's documentation to see what method to use.
Note: In Infrastructure mode, either setting will normally work, since most Access Points can use both
methods.

WEP Encryption

Select the WEP Encryption level:
• 64 Bit Keys (10 Hex chars)
• 128 Bit Keys (26 Hex chars)
• 64 Bit Keys (5 ASCII chars)
• 128 Bit Keys (13 ASCII chars)

Passphrase

Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click the "Generate Key" button to
automatically configure the WEP Key(s). If encryption strength is set to 64-bit, then each of the four key
fields will be populated with key values. If encryption strength is set to 128-bit, then only the selected
WEP key field will be given a key value.

WEP Keys

• Use the radio buttons to select the default key.
• Enter the key value you wish to use. Other stations must have the same key values.
• Keys must be entered in Hex. Hex characters are the digits (0 ~ 9) and the letters A ~ F.
• Click Clear Keys to set the Keys to be blank.

WPA/WPA2 Personal

Shared Key

Enter the key value. Data is encrypted using a key derived from the network key. Other Wireless Stations
must use the same network key. The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length.
