Section 3 - Configuration
By default the wireless security of this router will be disabled. In this next op-
tion the user can enable or disable wireless security for the frequency band
5 GHz. There are two types of encryption that can be used. WEP or WPA/
WPA2.
Wireless Security Mode: WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the most basic form of encryption used for
wireless networks. If you have an older wireless adapter that only supports
WEP encryption, please select this option.
The following parameters will be available for configuration:
WEP Key Length: Here the user can specify to either use a 64 bit or a 128 bit
encrypted key.
Authentication:
Authentication is a process by which the router verifies the
identity of a network device that is attempting to join the
wireless network. There are two types authentication for this
device when using WEP. Open System allows all
wireless devices to communicate with the router before they
are required to provide the encryption key needed to gain
access to the network. Shared Key requires any wireless
device attempting to communicate with the router to
provide the encryption key needed to access the network
before they are allowed to communicate with the router.
WEP Key 1: Enter the WEP key used here. For 64 bit keys you must enter
10 hex digits into each key box. For 128 bit keys you 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.
