Chapter 4: Web Configuration

Security

To configure security features for the Wireless interface, please open Security item from Wireless menu. This web page offers four authentication protocols for you to secure your data while connecting to networks. There are four selections including None WPA, 802.1X,WPA, and WPA-PSK. Different item leads different web page settings. Please read the following information carefully.

For None WPA

WiFi-Protected Access: The None item

 

offers you the less protection for wireless

 

communication.

 

Authentication Type:

 

The ADSL Router supports two

 

authentication types: Open System and

 

Shared key. This should be considered with

 

the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

 

mechanism.

 

 

 

Open System means that it allows any

 

client to authenticate and attempt to

 

communicate with a bridge. The client

 

can only communicate if its WEP keys

 

match the router’s WEP keys.

For Open System (or Shared Key), 64-bit

 

Shared Key means that a bridge or

 

router will send an unencrypted text

 

string to any client attempting to

 

communicate with the router. The client

 

requesting authentication encrypts the

 

text and sends back to the router. Both

 

unencrypted and encrypted can be

 

monitored, yet it leaves the bridge

 

open to attack from any intruder if he

 

calculates the WEP key by comparing

 

the text strings That is why shared key

 

authentication can be less secure than

 

open authentication.

 

Data encryption (WEP):

 

Select the WEP mode for the WEP key

 

function. You can choose 64-bitor 128-bit

 

for your necessity. If you choose Off, the

 

Encryption Keys will not be shown on this

 

page. If selected, data is encrypted using the

 

key before being transmitted. For example, if
