Pre-Shared Key: Pre-Shared Key for home users to provide authentication,data integrity, and data privacy,and this is an ASCII string with 8 to 63 characters.
Page 30 Security:None No encryption that client can associate it.
Page 31 Security:WEP WEP encryption scrambles the radio communication between bridges to keep the communication private. Communicating bridges use the same WEP key to encrypt and unencrypt radio signals.WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)—WEP is an 802.11 standard encryption algorithm originally designed to provide your wireless LAN with the same level of privacy available on a wired LAN.However, the basic WEP construction is flawed, and an attacker can compromise the privacy with reasonable effort.
Page 32 Security:WPA Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a standards-based, interoperable security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access control for existing and future wireless LAN systems.It is derived from and will be forward-compatible with the upcoming IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA leverages TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) for data protection and 802.1X for authenticated key management.

Page 56: Trouble Shooting
The computer used to configure the PheeNet WAP-654GP cannot access the Configuration menu.　 Check that the Ethernet LED on the PheeNet WAP-654GP is ON. If the LED is not ON, check that the cable for the Ethernet connection is securely inserted.　...
Page 57 Check that the IP address assigned to the wireless adapter is within the same IP address range as the access point and gateway. Since the PheeNet WAP-654GP has an IP address of 192.168.1.254, wireless adapters must have an IP address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.1.x.
Page 58 5. Why can’t I get a wireless connection? If you have enabled encryption on the PheeNet WAP-654GP, you must also enable encryption on all wireless clients in order to establish a wireless connection. 　 Make sure that the SSID on the router and the wireless client are exactly the same. If they are not, wireless connection will not be established.
Page 59 Check that the LED indicators are indicating normal activity. If not, check that the AC power and Ethernet cables are firmly connected. Check that the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS settings are correctly entered for the network. 　 If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, other home security systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will degrade dramatically or drop altogether.
