here, and if you entered multiple WEP keys, they

should not be same with each other.

IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every

Authentication (9):

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:

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

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

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

use a complicated WEP key to improve security level.
