Key 1 to Key 4
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the NBG334W and the wireless stations
must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose
64-bit WEP
, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal
characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose
128-bit WEP
, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal
characters
("0-9", "A-F").
You must configure at least one key, only one key can be activated at any one time.
The default key is key 1.

Connection Wizard: STEP 3: Internet Configuration
The NBG334W offers three Internet connection types. They are
Ethernet
,
PPP over
Ethernet
or
PPTP
. The wizard attempts to detect which WAN connection type you are using.
If the wizard does not detect a connection type, you must select one from the drop-down list
box. Check with your ISP to make sure you use the correct type.
This wizard screen varies according to the connection type that you select.

PPPoE Connection
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an
IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standard specifying how a host personal computer
interacts with a broadband modem (for example DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access
to high-speed data networks.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with
existing access control systems (for instance, RADIUS).

Select the

One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network
services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to
easily create and offer new IP services for specific users.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the subscriber and the ISP/carrier, as it
requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the subscriber’s site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG334W (rather than individual computers), the
computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG334W does that
part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access.
Refer to the appendix for more information on PPPoE.

3.4.3
PPTP Connection
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables transfers of data
from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/
IP-based networks.
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public
networks, such as the Internet.
Refer to the appendix for more information on PPTP.
