Confi guring the Wireless LAN

Wireless LAN is deactivated 
by default for security 
reasons. If you want to 
activate the function, go to 
the 

Interface Setup

 menu and 

select the 

Wireless

 sub-item. 

Note that activating 

Wireless 

LAN

 without setting an 

encryption poses a serious 
security risk. 

 

Access Point:

Switches Wireless LAN on or off.  To switch on Wireless LAN, select 

Activated

; to switch it off, select 

Deactivated

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 (Display WLAN network name):

Here, you can stipulate whether or not your Wireless LAN name should be visible to everyone in the network. The 
default setting is 

Yes

.

Channel:

Select the channel you wish to use for your wireless LAN network. In Germany you can choose from channels 1 to 
13. 

Note:

 You may not be able to select every channel, depending on your location. 

Authentication Type (Setting encryption type):

This fi eld is extremely important for the security of your Wireless LAN network. Select the 

encryption type

 and 

strength

. The Hama WLAN ADSL2+ Modem Router 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 This method is considered unsafe and outdated due to a number of 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.
