WPA-PSK

One of the easiest ways to enable Privacy on your Wireless network is by selecting

WPA-PSK

(Wi-Fi Protected Access) from the pull-down menu.

The screen expands to allow you to enter a

Pre Shared Key

. The key can be between 8

and 63 characters, but for best security it should be at least 20 characters. When you have

entered your key, click the

button.

WEP-Manual

Alternatively, you can enable WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption by selecting

WEP-Manual

from the Privacy pull-down menu.

You can provide a level of data security by enabling WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) for

encryption of network data. You can enable 40-, 128-, or 256-bit WEP Encryption (depend-

ing on the capability of your client wireless card) for IP traffic on your LAN.

WEP - Manual

allows you to enter your own encryption keys manually. This is a difficult

process, but only needs to be done once. Avoid the temptation to enter all the same char-

acters.

Encryption Key Size #1 – #4

: Selects the length of each encryption key. The longer the

key, the stronger the encryption and the more difficult it is to break the encryption.

Encryption Key #1 – #4

: The encryption keys. You enter keys using hexadecimal digits.

For 40/64bit encryption, you need ten digits; 26 digits for 128bit, and 58 digits for 256bit

WEP. Hexadecimal characters are 0 – 9, and a – f.

Examples:

•

40bit: 02468ACE02

•

128bit: 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789

•

256bit:

Use WEP encryption key (1 – 4) #

: Specifies which key the Gateway will use to encrypt

transmitted traffic. The default is key #1.

Any WEP-enabled client must have an identical key of the same length as the Router, in

order to successfully receive and decrypt the traffic. Similarly, the client also has a

‘default’ key that it uses to encrypt its transmissions. In order for the Router to receive the

client’s data, it must likewise have the identical key of the same length.

Enable Multiple Wireless IDs

This feature allows you to add additional network identifiers (SSIDs or

Network Names

) for

your wireless network. To enable Multiple Wireless IDs, click the button.

The

Enable Multiple Wireless IDs

screen appears to allow you to add up to three addi-

tional Wireless IDs.

When the Multiple Wireless SSIDs screen appears, check the

Enable SSID

checkbox for

each SSID you want to enable.

The screen expands to allow you to name each additional Wireless ID, and specify a Pri-

vacy mode for each one.
