SSID: SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a

wireless network. Access points and wireless devices

attempting to connect to a specific wireless network must use

the same SSID. The SSID is case-sensitive.

WEP : WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a security protocol

preventing unauthorized access to your wireless network.

WEP encrypts the data portion of each packet exchanged on a

wireless network using a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP encryption key.

WPA : WPA authorizes and identifies users based on a secret

key that changes automatically at regular intervals. WPA also

uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and AES

(Advanced Encryption Standard) for data encryption.

Custom mode

identity and data encryption are not required for your network.

Open system is used for IEEE 802.11 authentication.

Static WEP: This uses the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

algorithm suggested by IEEE 802.11 standard for security. Static

WEP security mode requires a proper WEP key for data

encryption, decryption, and IEEE 802.11 authentication. Press

the left/right arrow to select the setup method you want in

Authentication and press OK.
