TRENDnet TEW-423PI manual ¾ Authentication Mode

¾Authentication Mode:

Open System: with the same WEP key between the stations, the stations don’t need to be authenticated, and this algorithm was set to default.

Shared Key: with the same WEP key between the stations in this Authentication algorithm, this type will use packets with encryption by transferring a challenge text which will be acknowledge by both side of the stations. In order to choose which authentication algorithm will be used, you must know which one the station supports this algorithm first.

It is recommended to select “Auto” if you are not familiar with the setting.

WPA-PSK:WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access pre-shared key) is a simpler version that does not support 802.1x and requires a separate RADIUS server for mutual authentication.

Enter a Passphrase in the WPA-PSK dialog box. This passphrase must be the same on each computer that is connected to the wireless network.
