WEP
If you use WEP to protect your wireless network, you need to set the same
parameters for the ADSL Wireless Base Station and all your wireless clients.
You may automatically generate encryption keys or manually enter the keys. To
generate the key automatically with passphrase, check the Passphrase box, enter a
string of characters. Select the default key from the drop down menu. Click ‘SAVE
SETTINGS’.
Note: The passphrase can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
To manually configure the encryption key, enter five hexadecimal pairs of digits for
each 64-bit key, or enter 13 pairs for the single 128-bit key.
(A hexadecimal digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F.)
Note that WEP protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not
protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the Internet.
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) combines temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP) and
802.1x mechanisms. It provides dynamic key encryption and 802.1x authentication
service.
802.1X
If 802.1x is used in your network, then you should enable this function for the ADSL
Wireless Base Station. These parameters are used for the ADSL Wireless Base
Station to connect to the authentication server.
