RADIUS. This option features WEP used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to the Router.) First, enter the RADIUS server’s IP address and port number in the RADIUS Server IP Address and RADIUS Server Port fields. Enter the key shared between the Router and the server in the Shared Secret field.
To indicate which WEP key to use, select the appropriate Default Transmit Key number. Then, select the level of WEP encryption, 64 bits 10 hex digits or 128 bits 26 hex digits. Higher encryption levels offer higher levels of security, but due to the complexity of the encryption, they may decrease network performance.
Instead of manually entering WEP keys, you can enter a Passphrase to generate one or more WEP keys. The Passphrase is
