Wireless Security
Use this section to configure the wireless security settings for your router. Please note that changes made on this section will also need to be duplicated to your wireless clients and PC.
Wireless Security Mode
To protect your privacy you can configure wireless security features. This device supports three wireless security modes including: WEP, WPA and WPA2. WEP is the original wireless encryption standard. WPA and WPA2 provides a higher level of security.
WEP
If you choose the WEP security option this device will ONLY operate in Legacy Wireless mode (802.11B/G).
WEP is the wireless encryption standard. To use it you must enter the same key(s) into the router and the wireless stations. For 64 bit keys you must enter 10 hex digits into each key box. For 128 bit keys you must enter 26 hex digits into each key box. A hex digit is either a number from 0 to 9 or a letter from A to F. For the most secure use of WEP set the authentication type to "Shared Key" when WEP is enabled.
You may also enter any text string into a WEP key box, in which case it will be converted into a hexadecimal key using the ASCII values of the characters. A maximum of 5 text characters can be entered for 64 bit keys, and a maximum of 13 characters for 128 bit keys.
If you enable Wireless Security, make sure you write down the encryption key that you have configured. You will need to enter this information on any wireless device that you connect to your wireless network.
