WEP
Off, 64 Bit, 128 Bit.
Key
For 64 Bit encryption, the Key value must match.
For 128 Bit encryption, the Key value must match.
WEP Authentication
Open System or Shared Key.
WPA/WPA2
WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is more secure than WEP. It uses a “Shared Key”
which allows the encryption keys to be regenerated at a specified interval. There are four
encryption options:
TKIP, AES, TKIP-AES
and additional setup for
RADIUS
is required in
this method.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access using Pre-Shared Key) is recommended for users who
are not using a RADIUS server in a home environment and all their clients support
WPA/WPA2. This method provides a better security.

8-63 characters
802.1x
With
802.1x
authentication, a wireless PC can join any network and receive any messages that
are not encrypted, however, additional setup for
RADIUS
to issue the WEP key dynamically
will be required.
Wireless LAN Configuration
To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point
must use the same settings, as follows:
Mode
On client Wireless Stations, the mode must be set to "Infrastructure."
(The Access Point is always in "Infrastructure" mode.)
SSID (ESSID)
Wireless Stations should use the same SSID (ESSID) as the Access
Point they wish to connect to, but the SSID can not set to be null
(blank).
WEP
The Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings
for WEP (Off, 64 Bit, 128 Bit).
WEP Key:
If WEP is enabled, the Key must be the same on the
Wireless Stations and the Access Point.
WEP Authentication:
If WEP is enabled, all Wireless Stations must
use the same setting as the Access Point (either "Open System" or
"Shared Key").
WPA
WPA2 (AES)
WPA2 Mixed
WPA (TKIP/AES)/ WPA2 (AES)/ WPA2 Mixed: If one of these
securities is enabled on the Wireless Router, each station must use the
same settings as the Wireless Router. If there is no security is enabled
on the Wireless Router, the security of each station should be disabled
as well.
