Security
There are three types for security, Disable, WEP and
Pre-shared key. The setting you choose here will make the
following WEP or Pre-shared key field valid or not. Choose one
of the types for the router.
WEP
Check this box to use the same key set in Security Settings
page. If you did not set any key in Security Settings page, this
check box will be dimmed.
Pre-shared Key
Type – There are two types for you to choose. WPA and WPA2
are used for WDS devices (e.g., AP700). For example, if you
have a wireless AP and a Vigor2850n wireless router, you can
set the encryption mode as WPA or WPA2 to establish your
WDS system between AP and the router.
Key - Type 8 ~ 63 ASCII characters or 64 hexadecimal digits
leading by “0x”.

If you choose Bridge as the connecting mode, please type in the
peer MAC address in these fields. Four peer MAC addresses are
allowed to be entered in this page at one time. Yet please disable

the peer MAC address, remember to check Enable box in the
front of the MAC address after typing.
Repeater
If you choose Repeater as the connecting mode, please type in
the peer MAC address in these fields. Four peer MAC addresses
are allowed to be entered in this page at one time. Similarly, if

Enable box in the front of the MAC address after typing.
