ECURITY
The wireless 3G Broadband Router's wireless interface is configured by
default as an "open system," which broadcasts a beacon signal including
the configured SSID. Wireless clients with a configured SSID of "ANY" can
read the SSID from the beacon, and automatically set their SSID to allow
immediate connection to the wireless network.
To implement wireless network security, you have to employ one or both of
the following functions:
Authentication — It must be verified that clients attempting to
◆
connect to the network are authorized users.
◆
Traffic Encryption — Data passing between the unit and clients must
be protected from interception and eavesdropping.
The wireless 3G Broadband Router supports supports ten different security
mechanisms that provide various levels of authentication and encryption
depending on the requirements of the network.
The wireless 3G Broadband Router supports two SSID interfaces. Each
SSID interface functions as a separate access point, and can be configured
with its own security settings.
Click on "Wireless Settings," followed by "Basic".
