Wireless Security Screen
This screen is accessed by clicking the "Configure" button on the
Wireless
screen.
There are 3 options for Wireless security:
Disabled
- no data encryption is used.
WEP
- data is encrypted using the WEP standard.
WPA/WPA2-PSK
- data is encrypted using the WPA standard. This is a later
standard than WEP, and provides much better security than WEP.

Authentication
Normally this can be left at the default value of "Auto". If that
fails, select the appropriate value - "Open System" or "Shared
Key." Check your wireless card's documentation to see what
method to use.
Key Size
Select the WEP Encryption level:
64-bit (sometimes called 40-bit) encryption
128-bit encryption
Passphrase
Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase
box and click the "Generate " button to automatically configure
the WEP Key(s). If encryption strength is set to 64 bit, then each
of the four key fields will be populated with key values. If encryp-
tion strength is set to 128 bit, then only the selected WEP key
field will be given a key value.
Key
Use the radio buttons to select the default key.
Enter the key value you wish to use. Other stations must
have the same key values.
Keys must be entered in Hex. Hex characters are the digits
(0 ~ 9) and the letters A ~ F.
