 WEP is an acronym for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and is a security protocol that

provides the same level of security for wireless networks as for a wired network.

 WEP is less secure as compares to WPA encryption. To gain access to a WEP

network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you use for

password. When using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption.

 The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a

longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX

(hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for

Information Interchange - alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided

so you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to

HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be defined so that you can change

keys easily. A default key is automatically generated when WEP is enabled.

 ESSID Selection: As this device supports multiple SSIDs, it is possible to configure

a different security mode for each SSID (profile). Select an SSID from the drop-down

list.

 Broadcast SSID: Select Enable or Disable from the drop-down list. This is the SSID

broadcast feature. When this option is set to Enable, your wireless network name is

broadcast to anyone within the range of your signal

. If you're not using encryption then

they could connect to your network. When this is disabled, you must enter the

Wireless Network Name (SSID) on the client manually to connect to the network.

 WMM: Choose to Enable or Disable WMM. This is the Quality of Service (QoS)

feature for prioritizing voice and video applications. This option can be further

configured in WMM under the Wireless drop-down menu.

 Authentication Type: Select Open, or Shared Key. Authentication method from the

drop-down list. An open system allows any client to authenticate as long as it

conforms to any MAC address filter policies that may have been set. All

authentication packets are transmitted without encryption. Shared Key sends an

unencrypted challenge text string to any device attempting to communicate with the

AP. The device requesting authentication encrypts the challenge text and sends it

back to the access point. If the challenge text is encrypted correctly, the access point

allows the requesting device to authenticate. It is recommended to select Auto if you

are not sure which authentication type is used.

 Key Length: Select a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key length from the drop-down list.

 Key Type: Select a key type from the drop-down list. 128-bit encryption requires a

longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX

(hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for

Information Interchange - alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided

so you can enter a string that is easier to remember.

 WEP Key 1-4: You may enter four different WEP keys.

 Enable 802.1x Authentication: Place a check in this box if you would like to use

RADIUS authentication. This option works with a RADIUS Server to authenticate

wireless clients. Wireless clients should have established the necessary credentials

before attempting to authenticate to the Server through this Gateway. Furthermore, it

may be necessary to configure the RADIUS Server to allow this Gateway to

authenticate users. You will then be required to specify the RADIUS Server’s IP

address, port, and password.

• Radio: Choose to Enable or Disable the wireless radio.

• Mode: This drop-down list is fixed to Client as this is the Client Bridge operating mode.

• Band: Select the IEEE 802.11 mode from the drop-down list. For example, if you are

recommended to select 802.11g only instead of 2.4 GHz B+G which will reduce the

performance of the wireless network. You may also select 802.11B+G+N. If all of the

wireless devices you want to connect with this router can connect in the same

transmission mode, you can improve performance slightly by choosing the

appropriate "Only" mode. If you have some devices that use a different transmission

mode, choose the appropriate "Mixed" mode.
