 Security Mode settings.
 Access Control settings.
Security Mode Three security levels are available for protecting the SpeedTouch™ wireless
network environment.
 level 0:
No security, i.e. the data will not be encrypted, no authentication process will
be used.
 level 1:
Backwards compatible security with any Wi-Fi certified client(
WEP ), i.e.
encrypting the traffic between the SpeedTouch™ and the clients by sharing a
pre-defined 64-bit or 128-bit Network key.
 level 2:
WPA-PSK is the highest form of security available for home users but make
sure that your wireless client and client manager are compatible with it.
 level 3:
WPA is the highest form of security available but make sure that your wireless
client and client manager are compatible with it. If you want to use this level of
encryption you must have a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-in User
Service) server installed on your network.
By default the SpeedTouch™ access point uses security level 0, implying that no
encryption is used for wireless networking. In case security level 1 or 2 is active,
select Security Level 0 - no encryption to return to security level 0. Selecting this
security level has immediate effect. Data will no longer be encrypted. Therefore, to
re-access the wireless environment of the SpeedTouch™ you must first disable
security on your wireless client.
