Edimax Technology BR-6218Mg user manual Security, WEP only, 3.2 802.1x only

2.4.3 Security

This Router provides complete wireless LAN security functions, include WEP, IEEE 802.11x, IEEE 802.11x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key and WPA with RADIUS. With these security functions, you can prevent your wireless LAN from illegal access. Please make sure your wireless stations use the same security function.

2.4.3.1 WEP only

When you select 64-bit or128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to encrypt data. You can generate the key by yourself and enter it. You can enter four WEP keys and select one of them as default key. Then the router can receive any packets encrypted by one of the four keys

Parameter	Description
Method	You can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit. Larger WEP
	key length will provide higher level of security, but the throughput will be lower.
Authentication	When using shared key, user must input 10 hexadecimal digits for WEP64 and
	26 digits for WEP128. All the four WEP keys are set identical.
	The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network. Fill
Key	the text box by following the rules : 64-bit WEP: input 10-digit Hex values (in the
	"A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) as the encryption keys. 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit
	Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) as the encryption keys.

Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or start using the router (with the advance settings in place)

2.4.3.2 802.1x only

IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this Access Point before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates user by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not encryption the data during communication.
