is disabled by default. Choose
Enable
to show the available settings.
There are three types of encryption methods in the
Authentication Type
drop-
down menu,
WEP Open System, WEP Shared Key
and
WPA-PSK.
WEP Open System
encrypts all data that is sent over the wireless network but
does not use any authentication.This means it is still possible for all clients in range
to log onto the router, but without the correct key they will not be able to com-
municate with it.To activate this setting, choose
WEP Open System
from the
Authentication Type
drop-down menu. Then choose a
Key Type,
either HEX
(range 0-9 and A-F) or ASCII (any character on the keyboard). Choose
Key Size;
64 bits (for HEX this is 10 characters and for ASCII 5 characters) or 128 bits (for
HEX this is 26 characters and for ASCII 13 characters): the longer the key, the
stronger the encryption.The key is case sensitive.You have the possibility to define
4 keys at once so that you can easily change key to maintain security.
