Security Mode: Sets the wireless security encryption mode. It is HIGHLY
recommended to change the Security Mode and use the highest security level
supported by the client devices in the network. In most wireless networks, WPA/
WPA2 Personal is an excellent option that will support the largest cross section
of client devices. Security options include:
w
Open (default - no security)
w
WEP (128 bit shared key)
w
WPA Personal
w
WPA2 Personal
w
WPA/WPA2 Personal
To change the Security Mode, click the drop down menu and select the desired
mode. The available options for the selected mode will then appear. AFTER all
options are complete, click Save, and then Reboot for the change to take effect.
X
Encryption: This field sets the type of encryption to be used by the Security
Mode. The encryption options are dependent upon the Security Mode selected
and this field only shows while in WPA mode. For WEP and WPA2, and WPA/
WPA2 Personal, encryption is automatically set to 128 bits, AES, and TKIP &
AES respectively. For WPA, there are three options: AES, TKIP, and TKIP & AES.
When set to WPA, it is recommended that TKIP & AES be used. To change the
Encryption, click the drop down menu and select the desired encryption type.
Once all options are selected, click Save and then Reboot for the change to take
effect.
X
WEP Key: This field only shows while in WEP mode and sets the WEP key to be
used in the network. WEP 128 bit keys require 26 characters. Allowed characters
are numbers 0-9 and letters a-f. There are WEP key generators online that can
automatically create a key. To change the WEP Key, simply enter the 26 character
key then click Save and then Reboot for the change to take effect.
X
WPA Passphrase: This sets the passphrase used by client devices to connect to
the wireless network when using WPA Security Mode. For WPA the passphrase:
w
Must be a minimum of 8, maximum of 63 characters
w
Can contain spaces or special characters (i.e. @#$%&*)
To change the WPA Passphrase, simply type in the desired passphrase, click Save,
then Reboot for the change to take effect.
