WEP + Use 802.1x Authentication

WEP aims to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one
end point to another. However, it has been found that WEP is not as secure as once believed.
From the Encryption drop-down list, select WEP setting.
Check the option of Use 802.1x Authentication.
Click on the ratio of WEP 64bits or WEP 128bits.
Enter the Port, IP Address and Password of RADIUS Server:
Click OK button.
Change setting successfully! Click on OK button to confirm and return.

WPA/WPA2/WPA2 Mixed + Personal (Pre-Shared Key)

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a class of systems to secure wireless (Wi-Fi)
computer networks. WPA is designed to work with all wireless network interface cards, but not necessarily with first
generation wireless access points. WPA2 implements the full standard, but will not work with some older network
cards. Both provide good security, with two significant issues:
Either WPA or WPA2 must be enabled and chosen in preference to WEP. WEP is usually presented as the first security
choice in most installation instructions.
In the "Personal" mode, the most likely choice for homes and small offices, a pass phrase is required that, for full se-
curity, must be longer than the typical 6 to 8 character passwords users are taught to employ.
From the Encryption drop-down list, select WPA, WPA2 or WPA2 Mixed setting.
