5.3.1.4 Wireless Security
You can disable or enable with WPA or WEP for protecting wireless network. The default
mode of wireless security is
Disable
.
WPA1 Pre-Shared Key
WPA Algorithms:
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) / AES(Advanced Encryption
Standard) utilizes a stronger encryption method and incorporates Message Integrity Code
(MIC) to provide protection against hackers.
WPA Shared Key:
The key for
network authentication
.
The input format is in character
style and key size should be in the range between 8 and 63 characters.

WEP
WEP Authentication:
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data
transmitted over the network, the router offers secure data encryption, known as WEP. If
you require high security for transmissions, there are three options to select from:
Open
System,
Share key or Both
.
Default Used WEP Key:
Select the encryption key ID; please refer to
Key (1~4)
below.
Passphrase:
This is used to generate WEP keys automatically based upon the input

string and a pre-defined algorithm in WEP64 or WEP128. You can input the same string in
both the AP and Client card settings to generate the same WEP keys. Please note that you
do not have to enter
Key (1-4)
as below when the
Passphrase
is enabled.
Key (1-4):
Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data transmission,
the WEP Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be the same as the router.
There are four keys for your selection. The input format is in HEX or ASCII style, 5 and 13
ASCII codes are required for WEP64 and WEP128 respectively
no any separator is
included.
5.3.1.5 WPS
Billion WPS feature is follow Wi-Fi Alliance WPS standard and it ease set up of
security-enabled Wi-Fi networks in the home and small office environment. Reduces by half
the user steps to configure a network and supports two methods that are familiar to most
