WPS mode.
Authentication Type It’s very important to set wireless security settings properly. If
you don’t, hackers and malicious users can reach your
network and valuable data without your consent and this will
cause serious security problem.
This router supports WEP, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK
authentication type. If the router has enabled the
authentication, all the wireless clients’ settings have to be
consistent with the router for building the connection.
 WEP/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
Parameter Description
WEP-64Bits WEP is less level of security than WPA. WEP supports 64-bit
and 128-bit key lengths to encrypt the wireless data. The
longer key length will provide higher security. When “WEP-
64Bits” is selected, you have to enter exactly 5 ASCII
characters (“a-z” and “0-9”) or 10 hexadecimal digits ("0-9",
"a-f") for each Key (1-4).
WEP-128Bits When “WEP-128Bits” is selected, you have to enter exactly 13
ASCII characters (“a-z” and “0-9”) or 26 hexadecimal digits ("0-
9", "a-f") for each Key (1-4).
WPA-PSK WPA-PSK is suitable for home and small business. It uses TKIP
or AES for data encryption. When “WPA-PSK” is selected,
please select the encryption method and enter 8-63 ASCII
characters or 64 hexadecimal characters as the “Pre-Shared
Key”.
WPA2-PSK WPA2-PSK is also for home and small business. It uses TKIP or
AES for data encryption. WPA2-PSK offers the highest level of
security available. When “WPA2-PSK” is selected, please
select the encryption method and enter 8-63 ASCII characters
or 64 hexadecimal characters as the “Pre-Shared Key”.
WPA-PSK/ WPA2-PSK When “WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK” is selected, please select the
encryption method (TKIP or AES) and enter 8-63 ASCII
characters or 64 hexadecimal characters as the “Pre-Shared
Key”.
