ASUS Pocket Wireless Access Point (WL-330g)

English

Setting the AP operating mode

You can adjust the WL-330g operating mode to support wireless devices using
IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g standards. Setting the operating mode to mixed
allows the WL-330g to support both wireless standards.

Securing your wireless communication

The WL-330g implements the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)-PSK
authentication method to secure communication to and from wireless devices.
This method uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption to
enhance the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption.

To enable WPA-PSK:

1. Select WPA-PSK as the

Authentication Method.

2. Type 8 ~ 63 alpha-numeric

characters in the
Passphrase field.

3. Set the WPA Re-key Timer

(1 ~ 2147483647 seconds).
The re-key timer allows you
to set the time interval before the WPA group key is changed.

A shorter re-key interval provides a more secure wireless network.
