Clicking Custom takes you to the radio settings page. • Aironet Extensions—By default, the access point uses Cisco Aironet 802.11 extensions to detect the capabilities of Cisco Aironet client devices and to support features that require specific interaction between the access point and associated client devices. Aironet extensions must be enabled to support features such as load balancing, Message Integrity Check (MIC), Temporal Key Integrity Check (TKIP), Repeater Mode, and World Mode. -

Just as you use the Express Setup page to assign basic settings, you can use the Express Security page to create unique SSIDs and assign one of four security types to them. For detailed security information, refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points. -
Page 15: Configuring Basic Security Settings
Configuring Basic Security Settings You can use the Express Security page to create unique SSIDs and assign one of four security types to them. This illustration shows the Express Security page. Understanding Express Security Settings When the access point configuration is set to factory defaults, the first SSID that you create by using the Express Security page overwrites the default SSID, which has no security settings. -
Page 16: Express Security Types
• Static WEP Key—More secure than no security. Static WEP keys are vulnerable to attack. There are two different lengths for WEP keys: 40-bit and 128-bit (hexadecimal or ASCII characters). Cisco access points use hexadecimal characters. Client adapters can use either, depending on how the vendor chooses to configure them. -
