Enable 802.1x Authentication
IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this Access Point before accessing the wireless
LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not encrypt the
data during communication.
WEP Encryption
When you select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to encrypt data. You can generate the key by yourself and enter it.
You can enter four WEP keys and select one of them as a default key. Then the router can receive any packets encrypted by one of the four
keys.
Authentication Type: There are two authentication types: “Open System” and “Shared Key”. When you select “Open System”, wireless
stations can associate with this wireless router without WEP encryption. When you select “Shared Key”, you should also setup a WEP key
in the “Encryption” page. After this has been done, make sure the wireless clients that you want to connect to the device are also setup
with the same encryption key.
Key Length: You can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit. The larger the key will be the higher level of security is
used, but the throughput will be lower.
Key Type: You may select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal Digits (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) to be the WEP
Key.
Key1 - Key4: The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network. Use the following rules to setup a WEP key on
the device. 64-bit WEP: input 10-digits Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys.
128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) or 13-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys.
Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other sections by choosing Continue,
or choose Apply to apply the settings and reboot the device.
WPA Pre-Shared Key Encryption
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and
encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key frequently. So the encryption key is not easy
to be cracked by hackers. This is the best security available.
