field, and then
click

to generate the hex keys from the passphrase.
For 64-bit WEP, you can enter up to four keys, in the fields

The radio button on the left hand side selects the key that is used in
transmitting data.
Note that all four WEP keys on each device in the wireless network must

128-bit WEP
WEP is the basic mechanism to transmit your data securely over the
wireless network. Matching encryption keys must be set up on your
Router and wireless client devices to use WEP. Note that 3Com
recommends using WPA/WPA2 to secure your wireless connection.

WPA-PSK (no server)
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) provides dynamic key changes and
constitutes the best security solution. If your network does not have a
RADIUS server, select the no server option. For home network or very
small business networking environment, PSK is typically used.

Select WPA-PSK (no server) from the
WPA
drop-down menu.

Select WPA mode from the drop-down menu, three modes are
supported: WPA, WPA2, and Mixed mode.

Select
Encryption technique
from the drop-down menu, four options are
available: TKIP, AES, Auto for WPA, AES for WPA2, and AES for both WPA
and WPA2.
WPA supports TKIP and AES Encryption technique, for some old module
of wireless client cards, they may only support TKIP. In this case, we
suggest you to select “AUTO for WPA, AES for WPA2”. If your wireless
client cards can support AES over WPA, we suggest you directly select
“AES for both WPA and WPA2”.

Enter the pre-shared key in the
Pre-shared Key (PSK)
field. The pre-shared

include spaces and symbols. Each client that connects to the network
must use the same key.

WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) integrate the new WLAN clients into your
wireless network easily. You can enable this function by entering the PIN
