3.4.3 Security Setting
This function allows you setup the wireless security. Turn on WEP or WPA by selecting Authentication mode could
prevent any unauthorized access to your wireless network.
WEP
WEP aims to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is protected as it is transmitted from
one end point to another. However, it has been found that WEP is not as secure as once believed.
Select Authentication Mode as Open, Shared, or WEP Auto; and then Specify Encryption. Type as “WEP” can
prompt the setting page.
Default Key ID: Specify which key is used for encryption.
Key1 to Key4: Enter the key value depending on selected ASCII or Hexadecimal.
WPA/WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access(WPA and WPA2) is a class of systems to secure wireless computer networks. WPA is
designed to work with all wireless network interface cards, but not necessarily with first generation wireless
access points. WPA2 implements the full standard, but will not work with some older network cards. Both provide
good security, with two significant issues:
Ether WPA or WPA2 must be enabled and chosen in preference to WEP. WEP is usually presented as the first
security choice in most installation instructions.
In the “Personal” mode, the most likely choice for homes and small offices, a pass phrase is required that, for full
security, must be longer than the typical 6 to 8 character passwords users are taught employ.
