4.6.4.1 WEP
WEP is a security protocol for WLAN systems. WEP provides security by encrypting the data
that is sent over the WLAN.
The router supports three levels of WEP encryption:
64-bit encryption
128-bit encryption
256-bit encryption
With WEP, the receiving station must use the same key for decryption. Each radio network
interface card (NIC) and AP, therefore must be manually configured with the same key.
In order to implement security, proceed with the following steps. See Figure 4-59 .
Select the WEP option.
Check on “Enable WEP Wireless Security” option.
Select the “Cipher”option, the available options are 64 bits, 128 bits and 256 bits.
You can configure up to 4 sets of keys for your wireless client.

4.6.4.2 802.1x
802.1x is a security protocol for WLAN. It is a port-based network access control that keeps the
network port disconnected until authentication is completed. 802.1x is based on extensible
authentication protocol (EAP). EAP messages from the authenticator to the authentication server
typically use the remote authentication dial-in user service (RADIUS) protocol. On the screen
shown in Figure 4-60, enter the IP Address of the RADIUS Server (for 802.1x authentication
purposes). This is used only when you have a RADIUS Server and want to use it for
authentication. Most homes and offices do not have a RADIUS Server.
