Network Type Infrastructure - In this mode, you can connect the access point to Ethernet device such as TV and Game player to enable the Ethernet device as a wireless station and join to a wireless network through an access point or AP router. 802.11 Ad Hoc – An ad-hoc network is a network where wireless stations can communicate with peer to peer (P2P).
default value if you don’t know what it is, default value is 2346. Security Mode 802.11 standard defines two mechanisms for authentication of wireless LAN clients: Open Authentication and Shared Key Authentication. Choose one of the security modes from the drop down list. If you choose OPEN or SHARED, you have to type WEP information. OPEN – Open authentication is basically null authentication algorithm, which means that there is no verification of the user.
WEP Key Entry Method There are two types of key method: ASCII and Hex. When you select a key format, the number of characters of key will be displayed. For example, if you select 64-bit as key length, and Hex as key format, you’ll see the message at the right of Key Format is ‘Hex (10 characters) which means the length of WEP key is 10 characters. WEP Keys (Key 1 – Key 4) Input WEP key characters here, the number of characters must be the same as the number displayed at Key Format field.
