Configuring the Security Mode
You can configure one of the following security modes for wireless networks:
Configuring WEP
The WEP security mode offers weak security with a basic encryption method that
is not as secure as WPA. WEP may be required if your network devices do not
support WPA.
NOTE If you do not have to use WEP, we recommend that you use WPA2. If you are using
the Wireless-N only mode, you must use WPA2.
To configure the WEP security mode:
STEP 1 Select Wireless > Basic Settings. In the Wireless Table, check the box for the
network you want to configure.
STEP 2 Click Edit Security Mode. The Security Settings page appears.
STEP 3 In the Select SSID field, select the SSID for which to configure the security
settings.
STEP 4 From the Security Mode menu, select WEP.
STEP 5 In the Authentication Type field, select one of the following options:
- Open System—This is the default option.
- Shared Key—Select this option if your network administrator
recommends this setting. If you are unsure, select the default option.
In both cases, the wireless client must provide the correct shared key (password)
to access the wireless network.
STEP 6 In the Encryption field, select the encryption type:
- 10/64-bit (10 hex digits)—Provides a 40-bit key.
- 26/128-bit (26 hex digits)—Provides a 104-bit key, which offers
stronger encryption, making the key more difficult to decipher. We
recommend 128-bit encryption.
STEP 7 (Optional) In the Passphrase field, enter an alphanumeric phrase (longer than eight
characters for optimal security) and click Generate Key to generate four unique
WEP keys in the WEP Key fields.
