Security Settings

a. Mixed WEP

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption method used to protect your

wireless data communications. WEP uses a combination of 64-bit or 128-bit keys

to provide access control to your network and encryption security for every data

transmission.

°

Default Key:

You can set up to four sets of WEP key, and you can decide

which key is being used by default here.

°

WEP Key1, 2, 3, 4:

Input WEP key characters here, the number of

characters must be the same as the number displayed at “Key Format” field.

You can use any alphanumerical characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if you select

“ASCII” key format, and if you select “Hex” as key format, you can use

characters 0-9, a-f, and A-F. You must enter at least one encryption key

here, and if you entered multiple WEP keys, they should not be same with

each other.

b. WPA-Personal

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. It uses TKIP

and AES to change the encryption key frequently.

°

WPA Algorithms:

Select one encryption type, AES, TKIP or TKIP&AES.

°

Pass Phrase:

Enter the key which must have 8-63 ASCII characters.

°

Key Renewal Interval:

Specifies the timer the WPA key must changes.

The change is done automatically between the server and the client.

c. WPA2-Personal

The WPA2 is a stronger version of WPA.

°

WPA Algorithms:

Select one encryption type, AES, TKIP or TKIP&AES.

°

Pass Phrase:

Enter the key which must have 8-63 ASCII characters.

°

Key Renewal Interval:

Specifies the timer the WPA key must changes.

The change is done automatically between the server and the client.

d. Mixed WPA/WPA2-Personal

°

WPA Algorithms:

Select one encryption type, AES, TKIP or TKIP&AES.

°

Pass Phrase:

Enter the key which must have 8-63 ASCII characters.

°

Key Renewal Interval:

Specifies the timer the WPA key must changes.

The change is done automatically between the server and the client.

NOTE:

To improve security level, do not use those words which can be found in a

dictionary or too easy to remember! Wireless clients will remember the WEP key, so

you only have to input the WEP key on wireless client once, and it’s worth to use

complicated WEP key to improve security level.

Advanced Settings

ZSR4154WE provides some advanced control of wireless parameters, if you

want to configure these settings, please click “Wireless” menu on the left of web

management interface, then click “Advanced Settings”, and the following

message will be displayed on your web browser:

°

BG Protection Mode:

Default mode is Auto. It is for 11b/g wireless client

to connect 11n wireless network smoothly in a complicated wireless area.

°

Basic Data Rates:

For different requirement, you can select one of the

suitable Basic Data Rates. Default value is (1-2-5.5.-11Mbps…). It is

recommended not to modify this value.

°

Beacon Interval:

Set the beacon interval of wireless radio. Default value is

100. It is recommended not to modify this value.

°

Fragment Threshold:

The fragmentation threshold defines the maximum

transmission packet size in bytes. The packet will be fragmented if the

arrival is bigger than the threshold setting. The default size is 2346 bytes.

It is recommended not to modify this value.

°

RTS Threshold:

RTS stands for “Request to Send”. This parameter controls

what size data packet the frequency protocol issues to RTS packet. The

default value of the attribute is 2346. It is recommended not to modify this

value in SOHO environment.

°

TX Power:

Set the output power of wireless radio. The default value is 100.

°

WMM Capable:

It will enhance the data transfer performance of

multimedia data when they’re being transferred over wireless network. It is

recommended to enable this option.

°

APSD Capable:

It is used for auto power-saved service. The default is

disabled.

WPS Settings

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to build connection between

wireless network clients and ZSR4154WE. You don’t have to select encryption

mode and input a long encryption passphrase every time when you need to

setup a wireless client, you only have to press a button on wireless client and

this wireless router, and the WPS will do the rest for you.

°

WPS Settings:

To enable or disable WPS function, default setting is Diable.

°

WPS Mode:

Supports two ways to configure WPS settings:

PBC) and PIN code.

±

PBC

(Push-Button Configuration)

:

If you want to use PBC, you have to

push a specific button on the wireless client to start WPS mode, and

switch ZSR4154WE to WPS mode too. You can push WPS button of

ZSR4154WE, or click

PBC

button in the web configuration interface to

enable WPS

Note:

Press WPS button of ZSR4154WE for one second and WPS indicator will

blinking for 2 minutes. During the blinking time, you can enable another Router to

implement the WPS/PBC negotiation between them. At present, the WPS only

support one client access. Two minutes later, the WPS indicator will be off.
