The SSID is the identification

characters of a router. The default

words will be shown on this page. If

you do not check the Hide Access Point

broadcasts its SSID to allow the

wireless clients within the range to

recognize its presence. This can create

a security hole since any wireless

clients which got the broadcast might

associate to your system.

Please be noted that if you want to

communicate, all wireless clients

should use the same SSID with the

router or access point.

choose the one from the drop-down list. In

addition, the selections for this item will be

different according to the transmission mode

that you choose on this page.

Turbo Mode:

When it is enabled, the data transmission

will be faster for this router. Check

Enabled

Security

To configure security features for the Wireless interface, please open Security item from Wireless

menu. This web page offers four authentication protocols for you to secure your data while

connecting to networks. There are four selections including None WPA, 802.1X,WPA, and

WPA-PSK. Different item leads different web page settings. Please read the following information

carefully.

For WPA Disabled

For Wiresless Security Disabled

Wireless Security:

The

Disabled

item offers you the less

protection for wireless communication. If

you choose

Disabled

, the Encryption Keys

will not be shown on this page.

For 64-Bit WEP

Wireless Security:

Select the WEP mode for the WEP key

function. You can choose

64-bit

or

128-bit

for your necessity. If selected, data is

encrypted using the key before being

transmitted. For example, if you set 64-bit in

this field, then the receiving station must be

set to use 64 Bit Encryption, and have the

same Key value too. Otherwise, it will not be

able to decrypt the data. Please choose

64-Bit WEP for this page.

Authentication Type:

The Wireless IAD supports two

authentication types:

Open System

and

Shared key

. This should be considered with

the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

mechanism.

Open System

means that it allows any

client to authenticate and attempt to

communicate with a bridge. The client

can only communicate if its WEP keys

match the router’s WEP keys.

105

Page 114 / 144

ADSL Router User Manual

Shared Key

means that a bridge or

router will send an unencrypted text

string to any client attempting to

communicate with the router. The client

requesting authentication encrypts the

text and sends back to the router. Both

unencrypted and encrypted can be

monitored, yet it leaves the bridge

open to attack from any intruder if he

calculates the WEP key by comparing

the text strings That is why shared key

authentication can be less secure than

open authentication.

Format:

Choose the typing method of encryption key.

You have to click either

Hexadecimal digits

or

ASCII characters

and type the keys on

the fields of Key 1 to Key 4.

Key 1 to 4:

Type the encryption key length and fill out

WEP keys. For

64-bit

WEP mode, the

number you can type is that 5 characters or

10 hexadecimal digits.

Default Transmission Key:

Select one of network key that you set on the

Key boxes as the default one.

After finished settings, click

Apply

for

activation.

For 128-Bit WEP

Wireless Security:

Select the WEP mode for

the WEP key function. You can choose

64-bit

or

128-bit

for your necessity. If

selected, data is encrypted using the key

before being transmitted. For example, if

you set 128-bit in this field, then the

receiving station must be set to use 128 Bit

Encryption, and have the same Key value

too. Otherwise, it will not be able to decrypt

the data. Please choose 128-Bit WEP for this

page.
