wireless connection by searching the available wireless network
Default is 6258gnlxxxx where ‘xxxx’ is the last 4 digit of Travel
Router’s MAC address.
Encryption: Select wireless encryption mode:
Disable: No security at all, everyone can establish connection.
WEP: WEP encryption, less security and more compatiblity.
WPA pre-shared key: WPA encryption, safer encrytion.
WPA RADIUS: Select this option only when you have RADIUS server.
When you select WEP encryption:
Please select key length (64 or 128-bit) and key format (ASCII or Hex),
select Default Tx Key (Select ‘Key 1’ in most cases), and then input
encryption key characters in ‘Encryption Key’ field.
(
You can use any alphanumerical characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if you
select ‘ASCII’ key format, and if you select ‘Hex’ as key format, you can
only use characters 0-9, a-f, and A-F.
).
TIPS: Some examples of WEP key
(Don’t use those examples; use the one of your own!):
ASCII (5 characters): pilot
phone 23561 2Hyux #@xmL
ASCII (13 characters): digitalFAMILY 82Jh26xHy3m&n
Hex (10 characters): 287d2aa732
1152dabc85
Hex (26 characters): 9284bcda8427c9e036f7abcd84
To improve security level, do not use those words which can be found
in a dictionary or too easy to remember! (‘pilot’ and ‘phone’ listed
above are bad examples; just intended to show you how a WEP key
look like). Wireless clients will remember the WEP key, so you only
have to input the WEP key on wireless client once, and it’s worth to
use complicated WEP key to improve security level.
