Description
interference in order to enhance wireless performance.
It specifies the frequency width of the channel of the router. The default is
recommended.
It specifies the name of the wireless network of the router.
Encryption Type involves how your communication is secured and affects your
network security. The router supports None, WEP and WAP Personal.

None: It indicates that the wireless network is not encrypted.

WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) uses a static key to encrypt all data
exchanges, and ensures that a wireless LAN has the same level of security as a wired
LAN. Under this mode, you need to set the Authentication Mode and the WEP
Default Key.

WAP Personal: It indicates another encryption mode for data exchange. Under this
mode, you need to set WAP Mode, Cipher Type and Pre‐shared key.
The available authentication modes include Open System and Shared Key.

Open System: It specifies that authentication is not required if the Encryption Type
is WEP. In this case, a wireless client can connect to the router without being
authenticated, and the data exchanged between them is encrypted in WEP security
mode.

Shared Key: It specifies that authentication is not required if the Encryption Type is
WEP. In this case, a wireless client can connect to the router without being
authenticated, and the data exchanged between them is encrypted in WEP security
mode.
It specifies the length of the key that you set for the wireless network.
It specifies the default WEP key for the Open System and Shared Key encryption types.
For example, if the default key is set to WEP key 2, a wireless client can connect to the
router only with WEP key 2.
The router provides two WEP key types: ASCII and Hex.

ASCII: It allows 5 or 13 ASCII characters in a WEP key.

Hex: It allows 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters in a WEP key.

WPA: It indicates that the router works in the WPA security mode.

WPA2: It indicates that the router works in the WPA2 security mode.

Auto (WPA or WPA2): It indicates that the router works in the Auto(WPA or WPA2)
security mode, and wireless clients adopting the WPA or WPA2 security mode can
connect to the router.

AES: It is short for Advanced Encryption Standard. If this encryption algorithm is
