Wireless Security Mode
Choose one of these options for the security mode:
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security mode is defined in the
original IEEE 802.11 standard. This mode is no longer
recommended because of its weak security protection. Users are
urged to migrate to either WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal.
Note:
WPS mode does not support WEP on this device.
Field Descriptions
Encryption
. Select a level of WEP encryption, 40 / 64 bits (10
hex digits) or 104 / 128 bits (26 hex digits).
Wireless Passphrase
. To complete your wireless security setup,
you should choose a wireless passphrase that is easy for you to
remember and hard for anyone else to guess. The first time you
connect a new wireless device to this network, you may need to
enter this passphrase into the appropriate setup section in the
connected device. To improve your network security, do not
give out this passphrase to unauthorized uses. Please enter a
phrase of letters and/or numbers from 4 to 24 digits long.
Then, click
Generate
to create the Passphrase.
Key 1-4
. If you want to manually enter WEP keys, then
complete the fields provided. Each WEP key can consist of the
letters A through F and the numbers 0 through 9. It should be
10 characters in length for 40/64-bit encryption or 26 characters
in length for 104/128-bit encryption.
TX Key
. Choose a Transmit (TX) Key from 1 to 4. The TX key is
the key that will be used to encrypt your data. Although four
keys can be created, only one key is used for encrypting data.
Select one of the four keys for WEP encryption. Use the
selected TX key to set up your wireless clients.
