clients. Device A only supports WEP, and device B supports WEP and WPA. Therefore, you should set up

Sta tic WEP in the wireless network.

Note: It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA- PSK, WPA, or stronger encryption.

IEEE 802.1x and WEP encryption are better than none at all, but it is still possible for

unauthorized devices to figure out the original information pretty quickly.

Note: It is not possible to use WPA- PSK, WPA or stronger encryption with a local user database.

In this case, it is better to set up stronger encryption with no authentication than to set

up weaker encryption with the local user database.

When you select WPA2 or WPA2- PSK in your LTE3301, you can also select an option (WPA/WPA- PSK

C o mpa tible ) to support WPA/WPA-PSK as well. In this case, if some wireless clients support WPA and

some support WPA2, you should set up WPA2- PSK or WPA2 (depending on the type of wireless network

Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The longer the

key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must have the same key.

WPS

WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi Alliance. WPS

allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security

settings manually. Depending on the devices in your network, you can either press a button (on the

device itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the devices.

Then, they connect and set up a secure network by themselves. See how to set up a secure wireless

network using WPS in the

Section 4.2 on page 30.

Use this screen to configure the SSID and wireless security of the wireless LAN.

Note: If you are configuring the LTE3301 from a computer connected to the wireless LAN and

you change the LTE3301’s SSID, channel or security settings, you will lose your wireless

connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then change the wireless

settings of your computer to match the LTE3301’s new settings.
