Privacy

WEP - Automatic: provides an easy way to generate WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) keys for

encr yption of your wireless network traffic. See

“WEP-Automatic” on page 38

.

WEP - Manual: WEP Security is a Privacy option that is based on encryption between the Router

and any PCs (“clients”) you have with wireless cards. If you are not using WPA-PSK Privacy, you can
use WEP encr yption instead. For this encr yption to work, both your Router and each client must
share the same Wireless ID, and both must be using the same encr yption keys. See

“WEP-Manual”

on page 36

.

WPA-802.1x provides RADIUS server authentication support. See

“RADIUS Ser ver authentication”

on page 34

WPA-PSK provides Wireless Protected Access, the most secure option for your wireless network.

See

“WPA-PSK” on page 35

. This mechanism provides the best data protection and access control.

Be sure that your Wi-Fi client adapter suppor ts this option. Not all Wi-Fi clients suppor t WPA-PSK.

OFF - No Privacy: This mode disables privacy on your network, allowing any wireless users to con-

nect to your wireless LAN. Use this option if you are using alternative security measures such as
VPN tunnels, or if your network is for public use.
