WPS Progress: This displays the progress during WPS communication.
Reset to OOB: When clicked, all the wireless settings of the router will be reset
to factory defaults.
SSID: Up to 32 printable ASCII characters long, this is the unique name identified
in a WlAn. The Id prevents the unintentional merging of two co-located WlAns.
The default SSId of the router is "default."
Authentication Type: To prevent unauthorized wireless clients from accessing
the router, this router supports WeP, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication
types. If the router has enabled the authentication, all the wireless clients' settings
need to be consistent with the router for building the connection.
WEP / WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK & WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK
WEP-64Bits: A lower level of security than WPA, WeP supports 64-bit and
128-bit key lengths to encrypt the wireless data. The longer key length provides
higher security. When this is selected, you need to enter exactly 5 ASCII
characters (a-z and 0-9) or 10 hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f) for each Key (1-4).
WEP-128Bits: When this is selected, you need to enter exactly 13 ASCII
characters (a-z and 0-9) or 26 hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f) for each Key (1-4).
WPA-PSK: This option is suitable for homes and small businesses. It uses TKIP
or AeS for data encryption. When "WPA-PSK" is selected, enter 8 to 63 ASCII
characters or 64 hexadecimal characters as the "Pre-Shared Key."
WPA2-PSK: This option is also for homes and small businesses, but offers the
highest level of security available. When "WPA2-PSK" is selected, enter 8 to
63 ASCII characters or 64 hexadecimal characters as the "Pre-Shared Key."
WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK: When this is selected, you need to choose the
encryption method (TKIP or AeS) and enter 8 to 63 ASCII characters or 64
hexadecimal characters as the "Pre-Shared Key."
WIRELESS MAC ADDRESS FILTER
Active: When "Activated" is selected, this function prevents wireless clients from
accessing the wireless network by blocking their MAC address(es). The MAC
address(es) of the wireless client(s) to be filtered need to be entered.
Action: There are two options here.
• Allow Association – Only wireless clients with the MAC address(es) you
have specified can access the router.
• Deny Association – The wireless clients with the MAC address(es) you have
specified will be denied access to the router.
Mac Address #1-8: enter the MAC address(es) of the wireless client(s) to be
filtered.
