3.8.1.1 Wireless Security

WEP

(Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the

wireless network. Select

Disable to allow all wireless computers to communicate with

the access points without any data encryption. Select

64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to

use data encryption.

Key#1~Key#4

The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the ADSL Router and the

wireless clients must use the same WEP key for data transmission. If you chose

64-bit

WEP, then enter any

10

hexadecimal digits (“0-9”, “A-F”) preceded by 0x for each key

(1-4). If you choose

1280bit WEP, then enter

26

hexadecimal digits (“0-9”, “A-F”)

preceded by 0x for each key (1-4). The values must be set up exactly the same on the
Access Points as they are on the wireless client stations. The same value must be
assigned to Key 1 on both access point (your ADSL Router) and the client adapters, the
same value must be assigned to Key 2 on both access point and the client stations and so
on, for all four WEP keys.


WPA-PSK

Wi-Fi Protected Access, pre-shared key. Encrypts data frames before

transmitting over the wireless network.

Pre-shared Key

is used to encrypt data. Both the ADSL Router and the wireless clients

must use the same WPA-PSK Key for data transmission.
