WIRELESS ROUTER ADSL

Data Encryption with WEP
WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access points to
keep network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast communications in a network.
Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key for data encryption and
decryption.
The ADSL Router allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys but only one key can
be enabled at any one time.
Configuring Wireless LAN
Click Wireless LAN, Wireless to open the Wireless screen.
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Label Description
ESSID The ESSID (Extended Service Set Identification) is a
unique name to identify the ADSL Router in the
wireless LAN. Wireless stations associating to the
ADSL Router must have the same ESSID.
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 characters).
Hide ESSID Select Enable to hide the ESSID in so a station cannot
obtain the ESSID through passive scanning.
Select Disable to make the ESSID visible so a station
can obtain the ESSID through passive scanning.
Channel ID The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b
wireless devices is called a channel.
Select a channel from the drop-down list box.
RTS/CTS
Threshold The RTS (Request To Send) threshold (number of
bytes) for enabling RTS/CTS handshake. Data with its
frame size larger than this value will perform the
RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger
than the maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit)
size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this
attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS handshake.
Enter a value between 0 and 2432.
Fragmentation
Threshold The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation
boundary for directed messages. It is the maximum
data fragment size that can be sent.
Enter a value between 256 and 2432.
WEP Encryption WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames
before transmitting over the wireless network.
Select Disable to allow all wireless computers to
communicate with the access points without any data
encryption.
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to use data
encryption.
Key 1 to Key 4 The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the
ADSL Router and the wireless stations must use the
same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 ASCII
characters or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-
F").
