Wireless Security Setup
This page allows you setup the wireless security. Turn on WEP or WPA by using Encryption Keys
could prevent any unauthorized access to your wireless network.
You can protect your wireless data from potential eavesdroppers by encrypting wireless data
transmissions. An eavesdropper might set up a compatible wireless adapter within range of your
device and attempt to access your network. Data encryption is the translation of data into a form that
cannot be easily understood by unauthorized users.
There are two methods of wireless security to choose from:
•
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) ; data is encrypted into blocks of either 64 bits length or 128 bits
length. The encrypted data can only be sent and received by users with access to a private
network key. Each PC on your wireless network must be manually configured with the same key
as your device in order to allow wireless encrypted data transmissions. Eavesdroppers cannot
access your network if they do not know your private key. WEP is considered to be a low
security option.
•
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) ; provides a stronger data encryption method (called Temporal
Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)). It runs in a special, easy-to-set-up home mode called Pre-Shared
Key (PSK) that allows you to manually enter a pass phrase on all the devices in your wireless
network. WPA data encryption is based on a WPA master key. The master key is derived from
the pass phrase and the network name (SSID) of the device.
To configure security, choose one of the following options:
•
If you do not want to use Wireless Network security, From the Encryption drop-down list, select
None setting and then click Finished. None is the default setting, but you are strongly
recommended to use wireless network security on your device.
•
If you want to use WEP 64bit ASCII (5 characters) data encryption, follow the instructions in
Configuring 64bit ASCII (5 characters) encryption .
•
If you want to use WEP 64bit Hex (10 characters) data encryption, follow the instructions in
Configuring WEP 64bit Hex (10 characters) security .
•
If you want to use WEP 128bit ASCII (5 characters) data encryption, follow the instructions in
Configuring WEP 128bit ASCII (5 characters) security .
•
If you want to use WEP 128bit Hex (10 characters) data encryption, follow the instructions in
Configuring WEP 128bit Hex (10 characters) security .
•
If you want to use WPA (AES) - Wi-Fi Protected Access (AES) Passphrase encryption , follow
the instructions in Configuring WPA (AES) Passphrase security .
