Specifications

Privacy

• OFF - No Privacy: This mode disables privacy on your network, allowing any wireless

users to connect to your wireless LAN. Use this option if you are using alternative secu-

rity measures such as VPN tunnels, or if your network is for public use.

• WEP - Manual: WEP Security is a Privacy option that is based on encryption between

the Router and any PCs (“clients”) you have with wireless cards. If you are not using

WPA-PSK Privacy, you can use WEP Encryption instead. For this encryption to work, both

your Router and each client must share the same Wireless ID, and both must be using

the same encryption keys.

• WPA-802.1x provides RADIUS server authentication support. See RADIUS Server

authentication below.

• WPA-PSK provides Wireless Protected Access, the most secure option for your wire-

less network. See “

WPA-PSK” on page 47. This mechanism provides the best data pro-

tection and access control.

Be sure that your Wi-Fi client adapter supports this option. Not all Wi-Fi clients support

WPA-PSK.
