WEP
64 Bits, 128 Bits.
Key
For 64 Bits encryption, the Key value must match.
For 128 Bits encryption, the Key value must match.
WEP Authentication
Open System or Shared Key.
WPA/ WPA2/ WPA-Mixed
WPA/ WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is more secure than WEP. It uses a “Shared Key” which allows
the encryption keys to be regenerated at a specified interval. There are several encryption options:
TKIP, AES, TKIP-AES and additional setup for RADIUS is required in this method. The most
important features beyond WPA to become standardized through 802.11i/WPA2 are: pre-
authentication, which enables secure fast roaming without noticeable signal latency.
If WPA or WPA2 is used, the wireless stations and access point must have the same security
settings.
Wireless LAN Configuration
To allow wireless stations(STA) to access the access point(AP), the wireless stations and the access
point must use the same settings, as follows:
Mode
The mode must be set to Infrastructure.
SSID (ESSID)
(Extended Service Set
Identifier)
The network name must match the value used on the Wireless Router.
Note! The SSID(service set identifier) is case- sensitive.
Disable
If there is no security is enabled on the Wireless Router, the security of
each station should be disabled as well. And, you can connect the
Wireless Router without security, but it is NOT recommended.
WEP
Open System/
Shared Key/
Auto
By default, WEP on the Wireless Router is disabled.
Shared Key only supports WEP as encryption method.
AUTO(Open/Shared) means AP can accept STA connect to it using
OPEN-WEP or SHARED-WEP.
 If WEP remains disabled on the Wireless Router, all stations must
have WEP disabled.
 If WEP is enabled on the Wireless Router, each station must use the
same settings as the Wireless Router.
Personal (Pre-Shared
Key)
WPA
WPA2
WPA2-Mixed
WPA-PSK(TKIP/AES)/ WPA2-PSK(TKIP/AES): If one of these
securities is enabled on the Wireless Router. To make a connection,
each station must use the same algorithms and pass phrase as the
Wireless Router.
Pre-Shared Key Format: There are two formats for choice to set the
Pre-shared key, Passphrase and Hex (64 characters). If Hex is
selected, users will have to enter 64 characters string at a time. For
easier configuration, the Passphrase (at least 8 characters) format is
recommended.
Pre-Shared Key: Pre-Shared Key serves as a password. Users may key
in 8 to 63 characters string if you selected passphrase. Pre-shared key
format to set the passwords or leave it blank, in which the 802.1x
authentication will be ac
t
ivated. Make sure the same

assword is used
