Security
Object:
The purpose of this menu is to secure your wireless network (Wi-Fi). All types of
ingenious solutions have been deployed to combat attacks from hackers. Encryption
modes have been implemented to secure your wireless network. Among these, two
are commonly used:
WEP (
W
ired
E
quivalent
P
rotocol),
WPA (
W
i-Fi
P
rotected
A
ccess) and its derivatives (WPA-PSK, WPA2 etc.).
The WPA encryption mode is the most robust and the best adapted to correctly
securing your wireless network.
In the
Wireless
menu, select
Security
.
The following screen opens:

Store the key phrase and the keys in a safe location.
Do not write them in a file on your computer.
Important
The "Key phrase" can consist of up to 15 alphanumeric characters.
To manually configure the encryption key, enter five hexadecimal pairs of digits
for each 64-bit key, or enter 13 pairs for the single 128-bit key (A hexadecimal
digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F). Note that the WEP key
protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not protect any
transmissions over your wired network (LAN) or over Internet (WAN) using
Internet Explorer 5.0 or above.
