Selecting WEP:
If selecting WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), please review the WEP settings to configure
and click Apply to save the changes.
• WEP– Choose Open System or Shared Key.
Note: It is recommended to use Open System because it is known to be more secure
than Shared Key.
• Mode – Choose HEX or ASCII.
Note: It is recommended to use ASCII because of the much larger character set that
can be used to create the key.
• WEP Key – Choose the key length 64-bit or 128-bit.
Note: It is recommended to use 128-bit because it is more secure to use a key that
consists of more characters.
• Key 1-4
o This is where you enter the password or key needed for a computer to
connect to the router wirelessly
o You can define up to 4 passwords or 4 keys. Only one key can be active
at a given time. Most users simply define one key.
o Choose a key index 1, 2, 3, or 4 and enter the key.
o When connecting to the router, the client must match both the
password and the Key number. (e.g. if you have activated Key 2 with a
password of 12345, then the client must select: Key 2 (entering Key 1,
3, or 4 will block the ability to connect) and enter password 12345)
Selecting WPA, WPA-Auto, or WPA2 (WPA2 recommended):
First, from the Authentication Type row, select WPA, WPA-Auto, or WPA2.
Then from the PSK/EAP row, select either PSK or EAP
• PSK stands for Preshared Key
• EAP stands for Extensive Authentication Protocol, also called Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service or RADIUS).
Note: EAP requires an external RADIUS server, PSK only requires you to create a
passphrase.
The following section outlines options when selecting PSK (Preshared Key Protocol),
o Select a Cipher Type. When selecting WPA security, it is recommended
to use TKIP.
o When selecting WPA-Auto security, it is recommended to use AES.
o When selecting WPA2 security, it is recommended to use AES.
