Description
Please select a wireless authentication type you wish to use.
Available options are 'Open', 'Shared', WPA-PSK', 'WPA2-PSK',
and 'WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK'. If you want to disable wireless
data encryption, you must select 'Open'.
Please select an encryption mode. The available options in this
setting item will vary depending on the authentication type you
select. If you select 'Not Use', data will not be encrypted and
people with some networking knowledge will be able to read the
data you transfer with proper tool.
Please input the WPA pre-shared key here. Only clients with the
same pre-shared key you inputted here will be able to connect to
your computer. This setting is only available when you select
one of WPA encryptions.
You can specify the time interval to re-issue the key
wireless clients here. You can click the button '10 seconds' or
'Kpackets' to change the unit of time interval. (every 10 seconds
or a thousand data packets times the value you specified in
'Group Rekey Interval' field).
Please input the WEP encryption key here when you select
'WEP' as encryption type. There are 2 types of WEP key: Hex
(number 0 to 9, and ASCII characters A to F) and ASCII (all
alphanumerical characters plus symbols). Please select the type
of WEP key first, and then input the WEP key according to the
type of WEP key you selected.
If you want to use WEP 64 bits encryption, please input 10
characters if you select HEX, or input 5 characters if you select
ASCII. If you want to use WEP 128bits encryption, please input
26 characters if you select HEX, or input 13 characters if you
select ASCII. 128 bits encryption is safer then 64 bits, but the
data transfer speed will be slightly reduced.
Check this box and the WPA pre-shared key or WEP key you
inputted will be shown, but not replaced by asterisk (*).
