Operating Instruction
802.11b
= only WLAN devices using the 11 Mbps standard are supported.
802.11g
= only WLAN devices using the 54 Mbps standard are supported.
802.11b+g = WLAN devices using both the 54 and 11 Mbps standards are supported at the same time.
SSID:
You can enter a clearly identifi able name for your wireless LAN in this fi eld. The name can have a maximum of 30 characters. Special
characters are not supported.
Broadcast SSID:
Here, you can stipulate whether or not your wireless LAN name should be visible to everyone in the network. The default setting is
Yes (activated)
.
Authentication Type:
This fi eld is extremely important for the security of your wireless LAN. Select the
encryption type
and
strength.
The Hama ADSL2+
WLAN Modem Router currently supports the following encryption standards:
WEP (64 and 128 Bit)
WPA-PSK (TKIP)
WPA2-PSK (AES)
4.1 WEP encryption:
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
is a standard encryption
algorithm for WLAN. It controls access to the network
and guarantees the integrity of the data. This method
is considered unsafe and outdated due to a number of
weaknesses.
First select whether you want to use
64 bit
or
128 bit
en-
cryption. The latter offers greater security. Next, enter your security key (you can use characters ranging from 0-9 and a-f). The length
of the key is limited to 10 letters/numbers for 64 bit encryption, and 21 letters/numbers for 128 bit encryption.
You can preset up to four keys in the
Key #1
to
#4
fi elds. Select
Key #1
, for example, and enter your key of choice with the required
length.
Examples:
64 bit hex (10 characters) = 0x231074a6
128 bit hex (26 characters) = 2689x34ab368affb3476ab34ff

4.2 WPA and WPA2 encryption:
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an encrypti-
on method for WLAN. WPA contains the WEP
architecture, but offers additional protection using
dynamic codes that are based on the
Temporal
Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
. WPA also offers
pre-
shared keys (PSK)
for user authentication. WPA2 is a development of WPA and uses a different encryption algorithm, the
Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES)
.
Choose between
WPA-PSK (TKIP)
and
WPA2-PSK (AES)
in the
Authentication Type
fi eld.
The next step is entering a key called a
Pre-Shared Key (PSK)
. The key must be between 8 and 63 random characters; letters (A-Z),
numbers and punctuation marks are permitted. Any client wanting to access the access point must know this character string.
