Select the desired option, and then enter the settings for the
selected method:
•
Disabled - No security is used. Anyone using the correct
SSID can connect to your network.
•
WEP - The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before
transmission, but the encryption system is not very
strong.
•
WPA/WPA2 Personal - Like WEP, data is encrypted
before transmission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and
should be used if possible. WPA Personal is the version
of WPA which does NOT require a Radius Server on
your LAN.
Normally this can be left at the default value of "Automatic." If
that fails, select the appropriate value - "Open System" or
"Shared Key." Check your wireless card's documentation to
see what method to use.
Note: In Infrastructure mode, either setting will normally
work, since most Access Points can use both methods.
Select the WEP Encryption level:
•
64 Bit Keys (10 Hex chars)
•
128 Bit Keys (26 Hex chars)
•
64 Bit Keys (5 ASCII chars)
•
128 Bit Keys (13 ASCII chars)
Enter a word or group of printable characters in the
Passphrase box and click the "Generate Key" button to
automatically configure the WEP Key(s). If encryption
strength is set to 64-bit, then each of the four key fields will
be populated with key values. If encryption strength is set to
128-bit, then only the selected WEP key field will be given a
key value.
•
Use the radio buttons to select the default key.
•
Enter the key value you wish to use. Other stations must
have the same key values.
•
Keys must be entered in Hex. Hex characters are the
digits (0 ~ 9) and the letters A ~ F.
•
Click Clear Keys to set the Keys to be blank.
Enter the key value. Data is encrypted using a key derived
from the network key. Other Wireless Stations must use the
same network key. The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters
in length.
