are two options for the key length, i.e. 64 and 128bits. The longer the key length, the greater
security it will offer.
Authentication:
You can select Authentication to
Open System
,
Shared Key
or
Auto
. But when the 802.1x
Authentication check box is selected, the Authentication options will be gray out.
Key Length/Key Format/Encryption Key:
You may drop-down the list to set WEP key length, Key Format, and input Encryption Key. You
may enter key value manually:
64 bits WEP: Enter 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal digits (between 0-9, a-f and A-F).
128 bits WEP: Enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal digits (between 0-9, a-f and A-F).
The WEP key must be set up exactly the same on the Wireless Broadband Router
as they are on the wireless clients. If you set “0011223344” for the Wireless Access
Point, the same WEP key “0011223344” must be assigned to other client stations.
WPA & WPA2
The IEEE 802.11n (Draft 2.0) 2.4GHz Wireless Broadband Router provides WPA and WPA2
settings for advance wireless security setting. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the
IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption,
authentication and key management than WPA.
