Wireless Broadband Router
Open-System: No authentication is used. But uses WEP encrypt data packets.
Share-keys: Authentication is a process in which the AP validates whether the wireless client is
qualified to access the AP's service. You must enable WEP function and define your WEP keys. The
keys are used both to authenticate wireless clients and encrypt outgoing data.
Auto-Select: It can detect Wireless Client authentication information, and automatically choose
Open-System or Share-Keys mode to communicate with client. When use Auto-Select mode, you must
setup WEP keys which are used by authentication system.
WEP Length: Selects 64-bit or 128-bit WEP encryption. Be sure that the key length setting in the AP
shall be the same as in wireless clients, or the communication will not work.
WEP Mode: You may select to select ASCII Characters or Hexadecimal Digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and
"0-9" range) to be the WEP Key.
Default Key: The Key selected here must match the key selected in the client. For example, if you
select Key 1 here you have to select Key 1 for the client. The default is 1.
Key 1~4: Enter one to four WEP keys in either ASCII or Hexadecimal format. You can use 64 bits or 128
bits as the encryption algorithm.
Enter one to four WEP keys in either ASCII or Hexadecimal format. You can use 64 bits or 128 bits as
the encryption algorithm.
Note that when using Hexadecimal format, only digits 0-9 and letters A-F, a-f are allowed. Valid key
length for each encryption type is as below:
Key Length
64 Bit
128 Bit
Click "Apply" at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations.
4.4.2.3 WPA Personal
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key to
authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP and AES to change the
encryption key frequently. This can improve security very much.
