Security Against Eavesdropping
The Actiontec Wireless Access Point provides encryption to secure
the data flow over the air to and from the Access Point. This can
be configured in the 'Security against eavesdropping' page.
To display the 'Security against eavesdropping' page, click:
The security features available are:
Open System: When you select this option, clients have access without the
WEP encryption key (password).
WEP: When you select this option, you activate WEP security. When you
select this feature, the 'Enter the WEP Settings' dialog is displayed.
Change WEP Settings
When you select the WEP radio button or click the 'Change Settings' link, the
'Enter the WEP Settings' dialog becomes available.
To change these settings: Select the WEP mode: 40 bit or 104 bit. This is the
length of the key you'll need to enter. For WEP 40-bit, the key is 10 charac-
ters long. For WEP 104- bit, the key is 26 characters long. The longer the key,
the harder it is to crack the encryption. However, if you plan to use the prod-
uct with product from another vendor, please be advised that only 40 bit
encryption is found under Wi-Fi certification testing. Consequently, 104 bit
encryption may or may not work with another vendor's product.
