Description
Three types of authentication are available, Open System, Shared Key and
Open System/ShareKey (Both).
Open System: Authentication is a void authentication; it is easy to use. As
long as the wireless client uses the same WEP key will be able to
communicate with router's Access Point. The AP will remain visible to all
devices on the network.
Share Key: It is more secure than the Open System. Wireless client must
use the same authentication and the Web Key to be able to communicate with
router's Access Point.
Open System / Share Key (Both): With this setting both open and share key
are employed. Wireless client may have selected open or share key setting
and still can get access to the Access point, only if correct WEP Key is
presented.
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted
over the network, the router offers highly secure data encryption, known as
WEP. If you require high security for transmissions, there are two alternatives
to select from: WEP 64 and WEP 128. WEP 128 will offer increased security
over WEP 64.
Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data transmission,
the WEP Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be the same as
the router. There are four keys for your selection. The input format is in HEX
style, 5 and 13 HEX codes are required for WEP64 and WEP128 respectively,
the separator is "-". For example, using WEP64, 11-22-33-44-55 is a valid key,
whilst 1122334455 is invalid.
