Type
This device supports the following types.

Open : In Open System authentication, the WLAN client need not provide its credentials to
the Access Point during authentication. Any client can authenticate with the Access Point
and then attempt to associate. In effect, no authentication occurs. Subsequently WEP keys
can be used for encrypting data frames. At this point, the client must have the correct keys.

Shared : In a shared authentication, the WLAN client needs to provide its credentials to the
Access Point during authentication.

802.1x : In 802.1x authentication, the device needs to negotiate with the radius server first,
then the device’s wireless clients need to use the radius username and password to finish
802.1x authentication.
Default Key

connect to your device.
For WEB security mode, most smart phones only support key 1, so we recommend that you
