By default the wireless security of this router will be disabled. In this option the user can enable or disable wireless security
for the frequency band 2.4GHz. There are two types of encryption that can be used: WEP or WPA/WPA2. For further informa-
tion on these security types, please refer to "Wireless Security" on page 53
Wireless Security Mode: WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the most basic form of encryption that
can be used for wireless networks. WEP is considered to be a relatively
weak security method, however it provides more protection than an
unsecured network. Older wireless adapters may only support WEP en-
cryption. It is recommended that this method is used only if your wire-
less clients do not support WPA.
The following parameters will be available for configuration:

router verifies the identity of a network
device that is attempting to join the wire-

Open System allows all wireless devices
to communicate with the router before
they are required to provide the encryp-
tion key needed to gain access to the
network. Shared Key requires any wire-

with the router to provide the encryption

router.
must enter 26 hex digits into each key box. A hex digit is either a number from 0 to 9 or a letter from A to F. You
may also enter any text string into a WEP key box, in which case it will be converted into a hexadecimal key using
the ASCII values of the characters. A maximum of 5 text characters can be entered for 64-bit keys, and a maximum
of 13 characters for 128-bit keys.
