ECURITY
The Wireless Router‘s wireless interface is configured by default as an
―open system,‖ which broadcasts a beacon signal including the configured
SSID. Wireless clients with a configured SSID of ―ANY‖ can read the SSID
from the beacon, and automatically set their SSID to allow immediate
connection to the wireless network.
To implement wireless network security, you have to employ one or both of
the following functions:
◆ Authentication — It must be verified that clients attempting to
connect to the network are authorized users.
◆ Traffic Encryption — Data passing between the unit and clients must
be protected from interception and eavesdropping.
The Wireless Router supports supports ten different security mechanisms
that provide various levels of authentication and encryption depending on
the requirements of the network.
The Wireless Router supports two SSID interfaces. Each SSID interface
functions as a separate access point, and can be configured with its own
security settings.
Click on ―Wireless Settings,‖ followed by ―Basic‖.
