Actiontec 54 Mbps Wireless DSL Gateway User Manual

Channel

Channel assigns the frequency band at which the Gateway communicates. In the United States, use channels 1-11. (The factory default value is set to 1.)

Security

There are four wireless security options: Off, WEP, WEP+802.1x, and WPA. The latter three options are different types of wireless security.

Off

Selecting Off disables wireless security. Selecting this option allows any computer with wireless capability and the correct ESSID value to join the wireless network.

WEP

Selecting the security option “WEP” in the Wireless Settings screen generates the “WEP Key” screen. Here, the authentication type, encryption level, and WEP keys are entered to activate WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) security encryption for the wireless network.

Authentication Type - There are three authentication types: Open, Shared, and Both. Open authentication allows any wireless-enabled device to recognize the Gateway, if the correct WEP key is enabled on the device. Shared allows only wireless-enabled devices with the correct WEP key and Shared key to recognize the Gateway. Selecting Both enables both Open and Shared authentication types.
