3.6.2 Wireless Network Security Settings
Please fellow these steps for your wireless network security configurations.
1. Scroll down the "Encryption" list, and choose the encryption that you would like to apply to your
network security according to the real environment.
2. If WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is chosen as the encryption setting for your wireless
network, these options will be provided. Please configure your WEP encryption accordingly.
Key Length: Here you can choose the length of your authentication key as 64-bit or
128-bit. For 64-bit, enter 10-digit Hex values or 5-digit ASCII values as the encryption
keys. For example: "0123456aef" or "Guest." For 128-bit: enter 26-digit Hex values or
13-digit
"01234567890123456789abcdef" or "administrator."
Key Format: You can choose the format for your Encryption key here.
Default Tx Key: You can enter four Encryption keys and select one of them as default Tx
key. Then the router can receive any packets encrypted by one of the four keys. Only the
key you select it in the "Default Tx key" will take effect.
Encryption Key 1~4: The Encryption keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the
wireless network. Fill the text box by following the rules below. 64-bit WEP: input 10-digit
Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the
encryption keys. 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9"
range) or 13-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys.
3. If WPA (TKIP), WPA2 (AES) or WPA2 Mixed is chosen as the encryption setting for your wireless
network, these options will be provided. Please configure your encryption accordingly.
Pre-shared Key Format: Only those who are sharing the same key with the AP can
connect with it. Here you can choose either Passphrase or Hex (64characters). A
passphrase is a string of characters longer than the usual password (which is typically from
four to 16 characters long) that is used in creating a digital signature (an encoded signature
that proves to someone that it was really you who sent a message) or in an encryption or
a decryption of a message.
PSK: Enter your Passphrase or Hex (64 characters) here.
4. Click the "Finished" button to save your settings. BLW-54CW3 will reboot and apply the new
settings afterward.
