Barricade g Wireless Router with USB Print Server | Manual |
8.4.3 WEP
WEP is a basic encryption method which is not as secure as WPA. However, for most home users, WEP is satisfactory.
WEP Mode: The Barricade g supports 2 WEP modes,
Passphrase: Use this tool to generate a key from a common phrase.
Static WEP Keys: Choose this option if you want to configure the WEP keys in the Barricade g. Depending on if 802.1X authentication is enabled a Radius server may be required.
Dynamic WEP Keys: If you enable the [Dynamic] key option, the Barricade dynamically generates WEP keys when starting up and provides clients with the keys thru EAPOL packets after clients pass 1X authentication. A Radius server is required.
NOTE: When using Dynamic Keys, the 1X authentication should be enabled too, and clients should choose TLS, TTLS, or PEAP to do 1X authentication.
WPA/WEP: If you configure both WEP and WPA (PSK) security options then you will configure your wireless WEP clients to use either WEP key 2, 3, or 4. WEP key 1 cannot be used.
