Wireless Security
CNet Smart Wireless-G Router provides encryption types: (A) WEP (B) WPA

(A) WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)


Transmit Key

Select which WEP key (1-4) will be used when the Router sends data. Make sure

the receiving device is using the same key.

WEP Encryption

Select the level of WEP encryption you wish to use, 64-bit 10 hex digits or

128-bit 26 hex digits

. Higher encryption levels offer higher levels of security, but due to the

complexity of the encryption, they may decrease network performance.

Passphrase

Instead of manually entering WEP keys, you can enter a Passphrase. This

Passphrase is used to generate one or more WEP keys. It is case-sensitive and should not be
longer than 16 alphanumeric characters. (This Passphrase function is compatible with CNet
wireless products only. If you want to communicate with non-CNet wireless products, enter the
WEP key manually on the non-CNet wireless products.) After you enter the Passphrase, click the
Generate

button to create WEP keys.


Keys 1-4

WEP keys enable you to create an encryption scheme for wireless LAN transmissions. If

you are not using a Passphrase, then manually enter a set of values. (Do not leave a key field
blank, and do not enter all zeroes. These are not valid key values.)

If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then the key must be exactly 10 hexadecimal characters in
length. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryption, then the key must be exactly 26 hexadecimal
characters in length. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0”-“9” and “A”-“F”.

Check all the values, and click the Apply button to save your WEP settings. To cancel any
changes you’ve entered on this page, click the Cancel button. To get more information about the
