will enhance security (malicious / unknown users in

distance will not be able to reach your wireless

router).

WMM (12):

The short of Wi-Fi MultiMedia, it will enhance the data

transfer performance of multimedia contents when

they’re being transferred over wireless network.

If you

don’t know what it is / not sure if you need it, it’s safe

to set this option to ‘Enable’, however, default value

is ‘Disable’.

After you finish these wireless settings, please click ‘Apply’ button, button,

and the following message will be displayed on your web browser:

Press ‘Go Back’ to save the settings made and go back to web management

interface; press ‘Apply’ to save the settings made and restart the router so the

settings will take effect after it reboots.

2-7-3 Wireless Security

It’s very important to set wireless security settings properly!

If you don’t,

hackers and malicious users can reach your network and valuable data

without your consent and this will cause serious security problem.

To set wireless security settings, Please click ‘2.4GHz Wireless’ or ‘5GHz

Wireless’ menu on the left of web management interface, then click

‘Security Settings’, then follow the following instructions to set wireless

security settings:

Please select an encryption method from ‘Encryption’ dropdown menu, there

are four options:

2-7-3-1 Disable wireless security

When you select this mode, data encryption is disabled, and every wireless

device in proximity will be able to connect your wireless router if no other

security measure is enabled (like MAC address access control - see section

2-7-4, or disable ESSID broadcast).

Only use this option when you really want to allow everyone to use your

wireless router, and you don’t care if there’s someone reads the data you

transfer over network without your consent.

2-7-3-2 WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy

When you select this mode, the wireless router will use WEP encryption,

and the following setup menu will be shown on your web browser:

Key Length (1):

There are two types of WEP key length: 64-bit and

128-bit. Using ‘128-bit’ is safer than ’64-bit’, but will

reduce some data transfer performance.

Key Format (2):

There are two types of key format: ASCII and Hex.

When you select a key format, the number of

characters of key will be displayed. For example, if you

select ’64-bit’ as key length, and ‘Hex’ as key format,

you’ll see the message at the right of ‘Key Format’ is

‘Hex (10 characters), which means the length of WEP

key is 10 characters.

Default Tx Key (3):

You can set up to four sets of WEP key, and you can

decide which key is being used by default here.

If you

don’t know which one you should use, select ‘Key 1’.

Encryption Key

Input WEP key characters here, the number of

1 to 4 (4):

characters must be the same as the number displayed

at ‘Key Format’ field. You can use any alphanumerical

characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if you select ‘ASCII’ key

format, and if you select ‘Hex’ as key format, you can

use characters 0-9, a-f, and A-F. You must enter at least

one encryption key here, and if you entered multiple

WEP keys, they should not be same with each other.

Enable 802.1x

IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every

Authentication (5):

user must use a valid account to login to this wireless

router before accessing the wireless LAN. The

authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This

mode only authenticates user by IEEE 802.1x, but it

does not encryption the data during communication. If

there is a RADIUS server in you environment, please

enable this function. Check this box and another

sub-menu will appear:

RADIUS Server

Please input the IP address of radius

IP address (6):

Please input the port number of radius

After you finish WEP setting, please click ‘Apply’ button and the following

message will be displayed on your web browser:

Press ‘Go Back’ to save the settings made and go back to web management

interface; press ‘Apply’ to save the settings made and restart the router so the

settings will take effect after it reboots.

2-7-3-3 Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA):

TIPS: Some examples of WEP key

(Don’t use those examples; use the one of your own!):

ASCII (5 characters): pilot

phone

23561

2Hyux

#@xmL

ASCII (13 characters): digitalFAMILY

82Jh26xHy3m&n

Hex (10 characters): 287d2aa732

1152dabc85

Hex (26 characters): 9284bcda8427c9e036f7abcd84

To improve security level, do not use those words which can be found

in a dictionary or too easy to remember! (‘pilot’ and ‘phone’ listed

above are bad examples; just intended to show you how a WEP key

look like). Wireless clients will remember the WEP key, so you only

have to input the WEP key on wireless client once, and it’s worth to

use complicated WEP key to improve security level.
