Hide SSID: This option will cause the Gateway to not broadcast its SSID. By selecting this option,
wireless clients will not be able to use their Site Survey feature to locate this wireless network.
Encryption
If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels, you should enable either Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA) encryption. Encryption requires you to
use the same set of encryption/decryption keys for the Gateway and all of your wireless clients.
To access the Encryption configuration page, on the Side Navigation bar, click on [Wireless] link
and then click on the [Encryption] link.
WEP
Select [WEP] from the [Encryption Type] drop down menu. Select the Automatic, Open System, or
Shared Key from the [WEP Authentication Type] drop down menu.
You can choose between standard 64-bit or 128-bit encryption keys. Below are the configuration
options for 64-bit WEP. A passphrase or a manual key can be used.
NOTE: To enter a manual WEP key you will need to enter hexadecimal values (A-F and 0-9).
