Security
This Access Point provides complete wireless LAN security functions, included
are WEP, IEEE 802.11x, IEEE 802.11x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key
and WPA with RADIUS. With these security functions, you can prevent your
wireless LAN from illegal access. Please make sure your wireless stations use
the same security function, and are setup with the same security key.
Disable
When you choose to disable encryption, it is very insecure to operate the
WLR-5000.
SSID Selection
Select the SSID for which you would like to set the security.
Enable 802.1x Auth
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
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.
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 Format
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
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.
WPA-Radius
Wi-Fi Protected Access (
WPA
) is an advanced security standard. You can use
an external RADIUS server to authenticate wireless stations and provide the
session key to encrypt data during communication. It uses
TKIP
or CCMP
(
AES
) to change the encryption key frequently. Press
Apply
button when you
are done.

ACL
This wireless router supports MAC Address Control, which prevents
unauthorized clients from accessing your wireless network.
Enable wireless access control
Enables the wireless access control function
Adding an address into the list

of the wireless station to be added and then click "Add". The wireless station
will now be added into the "Current Access Control List" below. If you are
having any difficulties filling in the fields, just click "Clear" and both "MAC
Address" and "Comment" fields will be cleared.
Remove an address from the list
If you want to remove a MAC address
from the "Current Access Control List ", select the MAC address that you want
to remove in the list and then click "Delete Selected". If you want to remove
all the MAC addresses from the list, just click the "Delete All" button. Click
"Reset" will clear your current selections.

WPS

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to establish a connection
between the wireless clients and the wireless router. You don’t have to select
the encryption mode and fill in a long encryption passphrase every time when
you try to setup a wireless connection. You only need to press a button on
both wireless client and wireless router, and WPS will do the rest for you.
The wireless router supports two types of WPS: WPS via Push Button and
WPS via PIN code. If you want to use the Push Button, you have to push a
specific button on the wireless client or in the utility of the wireless client to
start the WPS mode, and switch the wireless router to WPS mode. You can
simply push the WPS button of the wireless router, or click the ‘Start to
Process’ button in the web configuration interface. If you want to use the PIN
code, you have to know the PIN code of the wireless client and switch it to
WPS mode, then fill-in the PIN code of the wireless client through the web
configuration interface of the wireless router.
WPS
Check the box to enable WPS function and uncheck it to disable the
WPS function.
WPS Current Status
If the wireless security (encryption) function of this
wireless router is properly set, you’ll see a ‘Configured’ message here.
Otherwise, you’ll see ‘UnConfigured’.
Self Pin Code
This is the WPS PIN code of the wireless router. You may need
this information when connecting to other WPS-enabled wireless devices.
SSID
This is the network broadcast name (SSID) of the router.
