How To Set Up Wireless Network Security 

Part 1: WEP 
Part 2: WPA-PSK 
Part 3-1: RADIUS Server Installation 
Part 3-2: 802.1x-TLS 
Part 3-3: WPA 

 

You can secure your wireless connection using one of the methods described below. Choose the 
one most suitable for your network. For simple networks WEP or WPA-PSK are most suitable, 
complex networks with installed RADIUS services can use WPA. 

 
Part 1: WEP 

Step1: Setting up Access Point’s WEP encryption key. 

 
1. Log into the Access Point using your WEB browser (e.g. Internet Explorer). Go to Wireless 
configuration page (Home > Wireless). 
Select the WEP option (Enable). 
 
2. Select the “Key Mode” (ASCII or Hex). 
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange): the standard for assigning numerical 
values to the set of letters in the Roman alphabet and typographic characters.  
HEX (Hexadecimal): numbers from 0 to 9 and letters from A to F. 
 
3. Select WEP Key length. 
64 bit: 5 ASCII or 10 Hex charcters 
128 bit: 13 ASCII or 26 Hex characters 
 
4. Select default key. 
There are 4 WEP keys that can be used. Default key is the key number 1.  
Select key 1, other three keys can be ignored. 
 
5. Press “Apply” to complete your settings.
