3-2-2 Security Settings

WEP

To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the

Access Point Security Settings window offers WEP features, making your data transmission over

air more secure and allows you to specify Encryption Key(s) if you enable encryption for the

Access Point.

Network Authentication

Choose the Network Authentication Type.

Open System: Requires NO authentication, since it allows any device to join a network without

performing any security check. The Authentication Type default is set to “Open System”. We

recommend that you use the default setting.

Shared Key: Requires that the station and the access point use the same WEP key to authenticate.

This basically means that WEP must be enabled and configured on both the access point and the

client with a same key. All points on your network must use the same authentication type.

Legacy 802.1x: If selected, you must configure the Radius Server Setting Screen.

WPA: If selected, you must configure the Radius Server Setting Screen.

Note: When Operation Mode is setted in Wireless Client or Bridge mode, WPA can’t be

setted.
