First select whether you want to use 64 bit or 128 bit encryption. The latter offers greater security. Next, enter ox and your Security key (you can use characters ranging from 0-9 and a-f). The length of the key is limited to 10 letters/numbers for the 64 bit encryption, and 26letters/numbers for the 128 bit encryption. You can preset up to four keys in the Key #1 to #4 fi elds. Select Key #1, for example, and enter your key of choice with the required length. Examples: 64 bit Hex (10 characters) = 0x231074a6ef 128 bit Hex (26 characters) = 0x231074a6b9773ce43f91a5bef3 Click SAVE at the bottom of the window to save your settings. 4.2 WPA and WPA2 encryption: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an encryption method for WLAN. WPA contains the WEP architecture, but offers additional protection using dynamic codes that are based on the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). WPA also offers pre-shared keys (PSK) for user authentication. WPA2is a development of WPA and uses a different encryption algorithm, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Choose between WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK in the Authentication Type fi eld. Next, enter the “Pre-Shared Key” (PSK). The key must be between 8 and 63random characters; letters (A-Z), numbers and punctuation marks are permitted. Any client wanting to access the access point must know this character string.

4.3 Advanced settings: Only the 802.11b/g fi eld is relevant here. You can set your Wireless LAN access point so that this is only communicated to other clients that are based on the 802.11b (11 Mbps) or 802.11g (54 Mbps) standard. The Hama WLAN ADSL2+ Modem Router 54 Mbps supports the following standards: 802.11b = only WLAN devices based on 11 Mbps are supported. 802.11g = only WLAN devices based on 54 Mbps standard are supported. 802.11b+g = WLAN devices based on 54 and 11 Mbps standards are supported at the same time. Click SAVE at the bottom of the window to save your settings. 4.4 Wireless MAC Address Filtering: With this function, you can stipulate which notebooks and PCs with Wireless LAN are allowed/denied access to your network/Internet by entering their MAC addresses. First, this function needs to be activated. Do so by selecting Activated in the Active: fi eld. Then choose either Allow Association or Deny Association in the Action fi eld, for the respective computer. Allow Association: Only the MAC addresses that you have entered are given access. Deny Association: None of the MAC addresses that you have entered are given access. Enter the MAC address of your fi rst chosen computer in the MAC Address #1 fi eld: Example: The MAC address of your computer is 00:12:34:56:0A:0A, so you enter this address into the Mac Address #1 fi eld, exactly as it is written on your computer. To fi nd out the MAC address of your computer, refer to the operating instructions for your operating system, or ask your system administrator. For additional computers, proceed as outlined above.
