Select WEP, WPA-Personal, WPA-Enterprise, or
Radius for the Encryption Method. WEP stands
for Wired Equivalent Privacy, WPA stands for Wi-Fi
Protected Access, which is a security standard stronger
than WEP encryption, and RADIUS stands for Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service. If you don't want
to use encryption, select Disabled.
WEP
Wireless Security - WEP
WEP
To use WEP encryption, select 64-bits or 128-
bit characters from the drop-down menu, and enter a
passphrase or key.
WEP Key The WEP key you enter must match the
WEP key of your wireless network. If you are using
64-bit WEP encryption, then the key must consist of
exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. If you are using
128-bit WEP encryption, then the key must consist of
exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal
characters are "0" to "9" and "A" to "F".
Passphrase
Instead of manually entering a WEP key,
you can enter a passphrase in the Passphrase field, so a
WEP key is automatically generated. This case-sensitive
passphrase must match the passphrase of your other
wireless network devices and is compatible with
Linksys wireless products only. (If you have any non-
Linksys wireless products, enter the WEP key manually
on those products.)
TX Key The default transmit key number is 1. If your
network's access point or wireless router uses transmit
key number 2, 3, or 4, select the appropriate number
from the TX Key drop-down box.
Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with Wi-Fi Finder
Using the Wireless Monitor
Authentication The default is set to Auto, where it
auto-detects for Shared Key or Open system. Shared
Key is when both the sender and the recipient share
a WEP key for authentication. Open key is when the
sender and the recipient do not share a WEP key for
authentication. All points on your network must use
the same authentication type.
Click the Next button to continue to the Confirm New
Settings screen or the Back button to return to the
previous screen.
WPA Personal
WPA Personal offers two encryption methods, TKIP and
AES, with dynamic encryption keys.
Wireless Security - WPA Personal
Select the type of algorithm, TKIP or AES, for the
Encryption Type. Enter a Passphrase of 8-63 characters
in the Passphrase field. The passphrase must match the
devices on your wireless network.
Click the Next button to continue to the Confirm New
Settings screen or the Back button to return to the
previous screen.
WPA Enterprise
WPA Enterprise features WPA security used in
coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only
be used when a RADIUS server is connected to the
Router.) WPA Enterprise offers two authentication
methods, EAP-TLS and PEAP, as well as two encryption
methods, TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption
keys.
Authentication
Select the authentication method
your network is using, EAP-TLS or PEAP.
EAP-TLS
If you selected EAP-TLS, enter the login name of your
wireless network in the Login Name field. Enter the
name of the authentication server in the Server Name
