Setting Up the Access Point
Caution! WEP has been found to be seriously flawed and is not be recommended for
a high level of network security. For more robust wireless security, the access
point provides Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA or WPA2) for improved data
encryption and user authentication.
Figure 4-6. WEP Options
To use WEP:
1. On the menu, click Security Settings. The Security Settings page
appears.
2. In SSID, select the SSID for which you want to set the security profile.
3. Under Security Options, click WEP.
4. Under Security Encryption (WEP), configure the authentication type
and encryption strength.
• Authentication: Select Open System to allow association of wire-
less stations without requiring authentication. Select Shared Key to
establish a rudimentary form of user authentication. Select Auto-
matic if Shared Key authentication is to be supported, but not
required. Default is Automatic.
