D-Link AG DI-784 Home Wireless Open or Shared Channel Authentication, WEP Encryption, Key Type

Open System - communicates the key across the network

Shared Key - devices must have identical WEP settings in or- der to communicate in the network

WPA - Wi-Fi Protected Access authorizes and authenticates users onto the wireless network. WPA uses stronger security than WEP and is based on a key that changes automatically at a regular interval. This mode requires a RADIUS server in the network.

WPA-PSK - Pre-Shared Key mode means that the wireless cli- ent and the router must have the same passphrase in order to establish the wireless connection. A RADIUS server is not re- quired with PSK.

Select Enabled or Disabled. Disabled is the default setting. Select the level of encryption desired: 64, 128 or 152-bit

52 is the default channel for 802.11a.

6 is the default channel for 802.11g.

All devices on the network must share the same channel.
