WEP Encryption
When you select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to encrypt data. You
can generate the key by yourself and enter it. You can enter four WEP keys and select one of
them as a default key. Then the router can receive any packets encrypted by one of the four
keys.
Authentication Type: There are two authentication types: "Open System" and "Shared
Key". When you select "Open System", wireless stations can associate with this wireless
router without WEP encryption. When you select "Shared Key", you should also setup a WEP
key in the "Encryption" page. After this has been done, make sure the wireless clients that
you want to connect to the device are also setup with the same encryption key.
Key Length: You can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit. The larger
the key will be the higher level of security is used, but the throughput will be lower.
Key Type: You may select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal Digits (in
the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key.
Key1 - Key4: The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network. Use
the following rules to setup a WEP key on the device. 64-bit WEP: input 10-digits Hex values
(in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys.
128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 13-digit ASCII
characters as the encryption keys.
Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now
configure other sections by choosing Continue, or choose Apply to apply the settings and
reboot the device.
Enable 802.1x Authentication
IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this
Access Point before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a
RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not encrypt
the data during communication.
