pull-down menu:
◆
WEP - Manual:
WEP Security is a Privacy option that is based on encryption between the Router and any PCs
(“clients”) you have with wireless cards. If you are not using WPA-PSK Privacy, you can use WEP encryption
instead. For this encryption to work, both your Wireless Access Point and each client must share the same
Wireless ID (SSID), and both must be using the same encryption keys. See
.
◆
WPA-PSK:
allows you to enter your own key, the most secure option for your wireless network. The key can
be between 8 and 63 characters, but for best security it should be at least 20 characters.
If you select
WPA-PSK
as your privacy setting, the
WPA Version
pull-down menu allows you to select the WPA
version(s) that will be required for client connections. Choices are:
Both
, for maximum interoperability,
WPA-1
, for backward compatibility,
WPA-2
, for maximum security.
All clients must support the version(s) selected in order to successfully connect.
Be sure that your Wi-Fi client adapter supports this option. Not all Wi-Fi clients support WPA-PSK.
◆
OFF - No Privacy:
This mode disables privacy on your network, allowing any wireless users to connect to your
wireless LAN. Use this option if you are using alternative security measures such as VPN tunnels, or if your
network is for public use.
Click the
Save
button.
WEP-Manual
You can provide a level of data security by enabling WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) for encr yption of net-
work data. You can enable 40- or 128-bit WEP Encr yption (depending on the capability of your client
wireless card) for IP traffic on your LAN.
WEP - Manual
allows you to enter your own encr yption keys manually. This is a difficult process, but
only needs to be done once. Avoid the temptation to enter all the same characters.
