data (128 bits total). Some hardware manufacturers refer to 128-bit as 104-bit
encryption.
Most of the new wireless equipment in the market today supports both
64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption, but you might have older equipment
that only supports 64-bit WEP. All Buffalo wireless products will support both
64-bit and 128-bit WEP.
1. Select "128-bit WEP" from the drop-down menu.
2. Default Transmit Key - Specify the transmit key here. For 128-bit WEP, make
sure this control is set to key 1.
3. After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your key by typ-
ing in the hex key manually. A hex (hexadecimal) key is a mixture of numbers
and letters from A–F and 0–9. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 hex
characters, (For instance:C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit
WEP key), or 13 keyboard characters.
4. Click "Apply" to finish. Encryption in the Router is now set. Each of your
computers on your wireless network will now need to be configured with the
same security settings.
Setting WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK Encryption
For WPA-PSK, all devices must use the same Encryption setting, either TKIP or
AES, and all clients must use the option selected here. For WPA2-PSK, you can
set Encryption to AES or to "TKIP or AES. " TKIP is the Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol; AES is the Advanced Encryption Standard.
1. Select "WPA-PSK" or "WPA2-PSK" from the drop-down menu.
2. For Encryption Technique, select "TKIP" or "AES". For WPA2-PSK, you can set
Encryption to AES or to "TKIP or AES. "
3. Enter your Pre-Shared key. This can be from eight to 63 characters and can
be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same key must be used on all of the cli-
ents that you set up. For example, your PSK might be something like: "Smith
family network key".
4. Rekey Interval - The actual keys used are derived from the pre-shared key,
and periodically "renewed" (changed). You can adjust the renewal interval if
you wish.
5. Click "Apply" to finish. You must now set all clients to match these settings.
