AlphaGIGABIT Secure Wireless Router 8800

Wireless Security Mode:

Configure the wireless security features to protect your privacy. Your AlphaShield Router supports three wireless security features; WEP, WPA-Personal and WPA-Enterprise wireless security modes.

The WPA-Enterprise option does require a RADIUS authentication server.

WEP

?WEP is the Wireless Encryption Standard. To use it you must enter the same key(s) into the router and the wireless stations. For 64 bit keys you must enter 10 hex digits into each key box. For 128 bit keys you must enter 26 hex digits into each key box. A hex digit is either a number from 0 to 9 or a letter from A to F.

For the most secure use of WEP set the authentication type to "Shared Key" when WEP is enabled.

?You may also enter any text string into a WEP key box, in which case it will be converted into a hexadecimal key using the ASCII values of the characters. A maximum of 5 text characters can be entered for 64 bit keys, and a maximum of 13 characters for 128 bit keys.
