Click ” Apply” to modify SSID, network type or select Transmit rate.
4.2 Encryption Setting
You may want an additional measure of security on your wireless network, which can
be achieved by using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption. WEP encrypts each
frame transmitted from the radio using one of the Keys entered in this panel.
When an encrypted frame is received it will only be accepted if it decrypts correctly.
This will only happen if the receiver has the same WEP Key used by the transmitter.
The default state in Encryption Setting is WEP disabled. Check “ Enable WEP” to
enable the encryption.
For more WEP key setting, Click “ WEP more” .
Three authentication modes are available: Open System, Shared Key and Auto. The
Open System uses default key to authenticate the station and Access Point. Once both
parties are authenticated, the station is allowed to send and receive data from the
network. However, the data are not encrypted.
