Security Settings
Authentication Type: You can disable or enable wireless security for protecting wireless network. The default
type of wireless security is OPEN and to allow all wireless stations to communicate with the access points
without any data encryption.
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the router offers
secure data encryption, known as WEP and WPA.
There are five alternatives to select from: WEP-64Bits, WEP-128Bits, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2-PSK.
If you require high security for transmissions, please select WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA/WPA2-PSK.
 WEP
WEP AuthType: WEP authentication method, there are two methods of authentication used, Open System
authentication (OPENWEB) and Share Key authentication (SHAREDWEB). We suggest you select
OPENWEB.
Key 1 to Key 4: Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data transmission, the WEP
Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be the same as the router. There are four keys for your
selection. The input format is in HEX style, 5 and 13 HEX codes are required for 64-bitWEP and 128-bitWEP
respectively.
If you chose WEP-64Bbits, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose WEP-128Bits, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
You must configure all four keys, but only one key can be activated at any one time. The default key is key 1.
Note: When you enable WPS function, this WEP function will be invalid. And if you select one of WEP-64Bits/
WEP-128Bits, the following prompt box will appear to notice you.
