1. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Settings

WEP (128 or 64-bit) is used here.

WEP Key 1, 2, 3 & 4: When you enable the 128 or 64 bit WEP algorithm,

please select one WEP key to be used. If you are using a 128 bit key, you have

to enter a 26 digit hexadecimal key (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) into the appropriate

field:

Example 128 bit: FEDCBA01234567890123456789 26 digits

Example 64 bit: FEDCBA0123 10 digits

Pass-phase generator: Since hexadecimal characters are not easily

memorable, this device offers a conversion utility from a simple word into the

hexadecimal code. Enter your Passphrase and press “Generate”. You can now

copy the hexadecimal entries in the WEP Key fields, if your wireless Clients do

not support the “Passphrase generator”.

2. RADIUS / Requires RADIUS

The RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) plays a key role in

serving as a center in the network to provide the capabilities of authenticating,

authorizing, accounting, auditing and alarming…etc and allows an organization

to maintain user profiles in a central database that all remote servers can share.

Since RADIUS needs a relatively complex explanation, here we will focus on

how it acts as an 802.1x-Authentication Server (EAP-aware RADIUS) and

assist coming up with a security enhancement.

Te RADIUS performs the authentication function necessary to check the

credentials of the Users and intermediate Routers, and indicates whether the

Users are authorized to access the Routers. Therefore, setting a RADIUS

becomes the first step for building up an 802.1x-capable environment. Even

more, it is also a must-do to accommodate the latest introduced Wi-Fi protected

access (WPA-EAP) to wireless network.

Setting up RADIUS information in your Router is quite simple, just to input the
