Chapter 7:

Wireless Security

This Chapter describes how to use the MAC Filter, 802. lx, Local User Database and RADIUS

to confi gure wireless security on your WR3000 Wireless Router.

7.1Wireless Security Overview

Wireless security is vital to your network to protect wireless communication between wireless stations, Wireless Routers and the wired network.

The fi gure below shows the possible wireless security levels on your WR3000 Wireless Router. The highest security level relies on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) for authentication and utilizes dynamic WEP key exchange. It requires interaction with a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server either on the WAN or your LAN to provide authentication service for wireless stations.

IMPORTANT - If you do not enable any wireless security on your WR3000 Wireless Router, your network is accessible to any wireless networking device that is within range.

7.2WEP Overview

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) as specifi ed in the IEEE 802.11 standard provides methods for both data encryption and wireless station authentication.

7.2.1 Data Encryption

WEP provides a mechanism for encrypting data using encryption keys. Both the AP and the wireless stations must use the same WEP key to encrypt and decrypt data. Your WR3000 Wireless Router allows you to confi gure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys, but only one key can be enabled at any one time.
