3-5-8 Wireless Security
This page allows you to set up wireless security to prevent any unauthorized access to your wireless network.
Next to security type, choose your type of security (Hawking recommends WPA-2PSK)
3-5-8-1 Disable wireless security
When you select this mode, data encryption is disabled, and every wireless device in proximity will be able to
connect your wireless access point if no other security measure is enabled
Use this option only when you want to allow any user to use your wireless access point, and you are not
concerned about unauthorized access to your files and/or transfers over your network.
3-5-8-2 WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy
When you select this mode, the wireless access point will use WEP encryption, and the following setup menu will
be shown on your web browser:
Key Length: There are two types of WEP key length: 64-bit and 128-bit. Using ‘128-bit’ is safer than
’64-bit’, but will reduce some data transfer performance.
WEP Auth Method: Open system - there is no authentication to access AP or wireless NIC
Shared - only those with the same key with the AP can connect to it.
