Multi-Function Gigabit Wireless-N Client Bridge

Version 1.0

 Broadcast SSID: Select Enable or Disable from the drop-down list. This is the SSID

broadcast feature.

When this option is set to Enable, your wireless network name is broadcast to

anyone within the range of your signal

. If you're not using encryption then they could connect to

your network. When this is disabled, you must enter the Wireless Network Name (SSID) on

the client manually to connect to the network.

 WMM: Choose to Enable or Disable WMM. This is the Quality of Service (QoS) feature for

prioritizing voice and video applications. This option can be further configured in WMM

under the Wireless drop-down menu.

 Encryption: Select Disable from the drop-down list.

 Click on the Apply button to save the changes.

3.2.4.5.4.2 WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

 Click on the Security link under the Wireless drop-down menu.

 WEP is an acronym for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and is a security protocol that provides the

same level of security for wireless networks as for a wired network.

 WEP is less secure as compares to WPA encryption. To gain access to a WEP network, you

must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you use for password. When using

WEP, you must determine the level of encryption.

 The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key

than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using

characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange -

alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is

easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the network. Four

keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily. A default key is automatically

generated when WEP is enabled.
