Data transfer is sometimes very slow. Microwave ovens, some baby monitors, cordless game controllers, and some cordless phones operate at the same radio frequency as the installed wireless card. When these devices are in use, they interfere with the wireless network. For optimum performance, keep wirelessly-connected computers at least 20 feet away from devices that operate at a frequency of 2.4 GHz.Data transfer is always very slow. Some homes and most offices are steel-framed structures. The steel in such buildings may interfere with your network's radio signals, thus causing a slowdown in the data transmission rate. Try moving your computer to different locations in the building to see if performance improves.Computers are not communicating with the network. Verify that all of the wireless network properties settings are correct. ● Make sure that your computer is receiving a good signal from the access point or router.● Verify with the network administrator that installed the wireless card in your portable computer is compatible with the IEEE 802.11 WLAN standard under which the wireless network is operating.● You may need to disable or uninstall firewall software to connect.● If your network uses access points or routers, check all cables and make sure the power LED on the front of the access point or router is green.I cannot connect to any wireless network.

How do I configure roaming identity for multiple users. Configure Roaming Identity to support multiple users: If you use a Pre-logon/Common profile that requires the roaming identity to be based on the Windows logon credentials, the creator of the profile can add a roaming identity that uses %username% and %domain%. The roaming identity is parsed and the appropriate log on information is substituted for the keywords. This allows maximum flexibility in configuring the roaming identity while allowing multiple users to share the profile. Please see your authentication server user guide for directions about how to format a suitable roaming identity. Possible formats are: %domain%\%username% %username%@%domain% %username%@%domain%.com %username%@mynetwork.com If Roaming Identity is cleared, %domain%\%username% is the default. NOTE: Credentials: This user name and domain must match the user name that is set in the authentication server by the administrator prior to client authentication. The user name is case-sensitive. This name specifies the identity supplied to the authenticator by the authentication protocol operating over the TLS tunnel. This user identity is securely transmitted to the server only after an encrypted channel has been verified and established. Back to TopBack to ContentsTrademarks and Disclaimers
Back to ContentsGlossary of TermsTerm Definition802.11 The 802.11 standard refers to a family of specifications developed by the IEEE for wireless LAN technology. The 802.11 specifies an over-the-air interface between a wireless client and a base station or between two wireless clients and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz band using either frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) or direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS).802.11a The 802.11a standard specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps and an operating frequency of 5 GHz. The 802.11a standard uses the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission method. Additionally, the 802.11a standard supports 802.11 features such as WEP encryption for security.802.11b 802.11b is an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless networks and provides 11 Mbps transmission (with a fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps) in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11b uses only DSSS. Throughput data rate 5+ Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band.802.11g The 802.11g standard specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps, an operating frequency of 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11g networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi* networks.802.11n A taskgroup of the IEEE 802.11 committee is in the process of defining a standard for high throughput speeds of at least 100Mbps on wireless networks. Some proposals being fielded by the taskgroup include designs for up to 540 Mbps. Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology, using multiple receivers and multiple transmitters in both the client and access point to achieve improved performance is expected to form the basis of the final specification.802.1X 802.1X is the IEEE Standard for Port-Based Network Access Control. This is used in conjunction with EAP methods to provide access control to wired and wireless networks.AAA Server Authentication, Authorization and Accounting Server. A system to control access to computer resources and track user activity.Access Point (AP) A device that connects wireless devices to another network. For example, a wireless LAN, Internet modem or others.
Ad Hoc Network A communication configuration in which every computer has the same capabilities, and any computer can initiate a communication session. Also known as a peer-to-peer network, a device to device network or a computer-to-computer network.AES-CCMP Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol is the new method for privacy protection of wireless transmissions specified in the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP provides a stronger encryption method than TKIP. The AES algorithm is capable of using cryptographic keys of 128, 192, and 256 bits to encrypt and decrypt data in 128-bit blocks. AES-CCMP uses the AES block cipher, but restricts the key length to 128 bits. AES-CCMP incorporates two sophisticated cryptographic techniques (counter mode and CBC-MAC) to provide improved security between the mobile client and the access point. Authentication Verifies the identity of a user logging onto a network. Passwords, digital certificates, smart cards and biometrics are used to prove the identity of the client to the network. Passwords and digital certificates are also used to identify the network to the client.Available network One of the networks listed under Available networks on the Wireless Networks tab of the Wireless Network Connection Properties (Windows XP environment). Any wireless network that is broadcasting and is within receiving range of the wireless adapter appears on the list.BER Bit Error Rate. The ratio of errors to the total number of bits being sent in a data transmission from one location to another.Bit Rate The total number of bits (ones and zeros) per second that a network connection can support. Note that this bit rate will vary, under software control, with different signal path conditions.Broadcast SSID Used to allow an access point to respond to clients on a wireless network by sending probes.BSSID A unique identifier for each wireless client on a wireless network. The Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) is the Ethernet MAC address of each adapter on the network.CA (Certificate Authority)A corporate certification authority implemented on a server. In addition, Internet Explorer's certificate can import a certificate from a file. A trusted CA certificate is stored in the root store.CCX (Cisco Compatible eXtension)Cisco Compatible Extensions Program ensures that devices used on Cisco wireless LAN infrastructure meet the security, management and roaming requirements.Certificate Used for client authentication. A certificate is registered on the authentication server (for example, RADIUS server) and used by the authenticator.
CKIP Cisco Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP) is a Cisco proprietary security protocol for encryption in 802.11 media. CKIP uses a key message integrity check and message sequence number to improve 802.11 security in infrastructure mode. CKIP is Cisco's version of TKIP.Client computer The computer that gets its Internet connection by sharing either the host computer's connection or the access point's connection.DSSS Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum. Technology used in radio transmission. Incompatible with FHSS.EAP Short for Extensible Authentication Protocol, EAP sits inside of Point-to-Point Protocol's (PPP) authentication protocol and provides a generalized framework for several different authentication methods. EAP is supposed to head off proprietary authentication systems and let everything from passwords to challenge-response tokens and public-key infrastructure certificates all work smoothly.EAP-AKA EAP-AKA (Extensible Authentication Protocol Method for UMTS Authentication and Key Agreement) is an EAP mechanism for authentication and session key distribution, using the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Subscriber Identity Module (USIM). The USIM card is a special smart card used with cellular networks to validate a given user with the network. EAP-FAST EAP-FAST, like EAP-TTLS and PEAP, uses tunneling to protect traffic. The main difference is that EAP-FAST does not use certificates to authenticate.Provisioning in EAP-FAST is negotiated solely by the client as the first communication exchange when EAP-FAST is requested from the server. If the client does not have a pre-shared secret Protected Access Credential (PAC), it can request to initiate a provisioning EAP-FAST exchange to dynamically obtain one from the server.EAP-FAST documents two methods to deliver the PAC: manual delivery through an out-of-band secure mechanism, and automatic provisioning.● Manual delivery mechanisms can be any delivery mechanism that the administrator of the network feels is sufficiently secure for their network.● Automatic provisioning establishes an encrypted tunnel to protect the authentication of the client and the delivery of the PAC to the client. This mechanism, while not as secure as a manual method may be, is more secure than the authentication method used in LEAP.The EAP-FAST method can be divided into two parts: provisioning, and authentication. The provisioning phase involves the initial delivery of the PAC to the client. This phase only needs to be performed once per client
and user.EAP-GTC The EAP-GTC (Generic Token Card) is similar to the EAP-OTP except with hardware token cards. The request contains a displayable message, and the response contains the string read from the hardware token card.EAP-OTP EAP-OTP (One-Time Password) is similar to MD5, except it uses the OTP as the response. The request contains a displayable message. The OTP method is defined in RFC 2289.EAP-SIM Extensible Authentication Protocol-Subscriber Identity Module (EAP-SIM) authentication can be used with: ● Network Authentication types: Open, Shared, and WPA*-Enterprise, WPA2*-Enterprise.● Data Encryption types: None, WEP and CKIP.A SIM card is a special smart card that is used by Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) based digital cellular networks. The SIM card is used to validate your credentials with the networkEAP-TLS A type of authentication method that uses EAP and a security protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates that use passwords. EAP-TLS authentication supports dynamic WEP key management.EAP-TTLS A type of authentication method that uses EAP and Tunneled Transport Layer Security (TTLS). EAP-TTLS uses a combination of certificates and another security method such as passwords.Encryption Scrambling data so that only the authorized recipient can read it. Usually a key is needed to interpret the data.FHSS Frequency-Hop Spread Spectrum. Technology used in radio transmission. Incompatible with DSSS.File and printer sharing A capability that allows a number of people to view, modify, and print the same file(s) from different computers.Fragmentation threshold The threshold at which the wireless adapter breaks the packet into multiple frames. This determines the packet size and affects the throughput of the transmission.GHz (Gigahertz) A unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000,000 cycles per second.Host computer The computer that is directly connected to the Internet via a modem or network adapter.Infrastructure network A wireless network centered around an access point. In this environment, the access point not only provides communication with the wired network, but also mediates wireless network traffic in the immediate neighborhood.
IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is an organization involved in defining computing and communications standards.Internet Protocol (IP) addressThe address of a computer that is attached to a network. Part of the address designates which network the computer is on, and the other part represents the host identification.LAN (Local Area Network) A high-speed, low-error data network covering a relatively small geographic area.LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol)A version of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). LEAP is a proprietary extensible authentication protocol developed by Cisco that provides a challenge-response authentication mechanism and dynamic key assignment.MAC (Media Access Control) AddressA hardwired address applied at the factory. It uniquely identifies network hardware, such as a wireless adapter, on a LAN or WAN.Mbps (Megabits-per-second)Transmission speed of 1,000,000 bits per second.MHz (Megahertz) A unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000 cycles per second.MIC (Michael) Message Integrity Check (commonly called Michael).MS-CHAP An EAP mechanism used by the client. Microsoft Challenge Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP) Version 2, is used over an encrypted channel to enable server validation. The challenge and response packets are sent over a non-exposed TLS encrypted channel.ns(Nanosecond) 1 billionth (1/1,000,000,000) of a second.OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing.Open authentication Allows any device network access. If encryption is not enabled on the network, any device that knows the Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the access point can gain access to the network.
PEAP Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) draft protocol sponsored by Microsoft, Cisco, and RSA Security. PEAP creates an encrypted tunnel similar to the tunnel used in secure web pages (SSL). Inside the encrypted tunnel, a number of other EAP authentication methods can be used to perform client authentication. PEAP requires a TLS certificate on the RADIUS server, but unlike EAP-TLS there is no requirement to have a certificate on the client. PEAP has not been ratified by the IETF. The IETF is currently comparing PEAP and TTLS (Tunneled TLS) to determine an authentication standard for 802.1X authentication in 802.11 wireless systems. PEAP is an authentication type designed to take advantage of server-side EAP-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) and to support various authentication methods, including user passwords and one-time passwords, and Generic Token Cards.Peer-to-Peer mode A wireless network structure that allows wireless clients to communicate directly with each other without using an access point.Power save mode The state in which the radio is periodically powered down to conserve power. When the portable computer is in Power Save mode, receive packets are stored in the access point until the wireless adapter wakes up.Preferred network One of the networks that has been configured. Such networks are listed under Preferred networks on the Wireless Networks tab of the Wireless Network Connection Properties (Windows XP* environment).RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service)RADIUS is an authentication and accounting system that verifies user's credentials and grants access to requested resources.RF (Radio Frequency) The international unit for measuring frequency is Hertz (Hz), which is equivalent to the older unit of cycles per second. One MegaHertz (MHz) is one million Hertz. One GigaHertz (GHz) is one billion Hertz. For reference: the standard US electrical power frequency is 60 Hz, the AM broadcast radio frequency band is 0.55 -1.6 MHz, the FM broadcast radio frequency band is 88-108 MHz, and microwave ovens typically operate at 2.45 GHz.Roaming Movement of a wireless node between two micro cells. Roaming usually occurs in infrastructure networks built around multiple access points. Current wireless network roaming is only supported in the same subnet of a network.RTS threshold The number of frames in the data packet at or above which an RTS/CTS (request to send/clear to send) handshake is turned on before the packet is sent. The default value is 2347.Shared key An encryption key known only to the receiver and sender of data. This is also referred to as a pre-shared key.
SIM (Subscriber Identity Module)A SIM card is used to validate credentials with the network. A SIM card is a special smart card used by GSM-based digital cellular networks.Silent mode Silent Mode Access Points or Wireless Routers have been configured to not broadcast the SSID for the wireless network. This makes it necessary to know the SSID in order to configure the wireless profile to connect to the access point or wireless router.Single Sign On Single Sign On feature set allows the 802.1X credentials to match your Windows log on user name and password credentials for wireless network connections.SSID (Service Set Identifier) SSID or network name is a value that controls access to a wireless network. The SSID for your wireless network card must match the SSID for any access point that you want to connect with. If the value does not match, you are not granted access to the network. Each SSID may be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long and is case-sensitive.stealth A stealth access point is one that has the capability and is configured to not broadcast its SSID. This is the wireless network name that appears when a DMU (Device Management Utility, such as Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi ) scans for available wireless networks. Although this can enhance wireless network security, it is commonly considered a weak security feature. To connect to a stealth access point, a user must specifically know the SSID and configure their DMU accordingly. The feature is not a part of the 802.11 specification, and is known by differing names by various vendors: closed mode, private network, SSID broadcasting.TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)Temporal Key Integrity protocol improves data encryption. Wi-Fi Protected Access* uses its TKIP. TKIP provides important data encryption enhancements including a re-keying method. TKIP is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless networks. TKIP is the next generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used to secure 802.11 wireless networks. TKIP provides per packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP.
TLS (Transport Layer Security)A type of authentication method using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and a security protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates which use passwords. EAP-TLS authentication supports dynamic WEP key management. The TLS protocol is intended to secure and authenticate communications across a public network through data encryption. The TLS Handshake Protocol allows the server and client to provide mutual authentication and to negotiate an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys before data is transmitted.TTLS (Tunneled Transport Layer Security)These settings define the protocol and the credentials used to authenticate a user. In TTLS, the client uses EAP-TLS to validate the server and create a TLS-encrypted channel between the client and server. The client can use another authentication protocol. Typically password-based protocols challenge over this encrypted channel to enable server validation. The challenge and response packets are sent over a non-exposed TLS encrypted channel. TTLS implementations today support all methods defined by EAP, as well as several older methods (CHAP, PAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP-V2). TTLS can easily be extended to work with new protocols by defining new attributes to support new protocols.WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)Wired Equivalent Privacy, 64- and 128-bit (64-bit is sometimes referred to as 40-bit). This is a low-level encryption technique designed to give the user about the same amount of privacy that he would expect from a LAN. WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP is designed to provide the same level of security as that of a wired LAN. WEP aims to provide security by data over radio waves so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another.WEP Key Either a pass phrase or hexadecimal key. The pass phrase must be 5 ASCII characters for 64-bit WEP or 13 ASCII characters for 128-bit WEP. For pass phrases, 0-9, a-z, A-Z, and ~!@#$%^&*()_+|`-={}|[]\:";'<>?,./ are all valid characters. The hex key must be 10 hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F) for 64-bit WEP or 26 hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F) for 128-bit WEP.Wi-Fi* (Wireless Fidelity)Is meant to be used generically when referring of any type to 802.11 network, whether 802.11b, 802.11a, or dual-band.
WiMAX WiMAX, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a telecommunications technology aimed at providing wireless data over long distances in a variety of ways, from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular type access. It is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard. The name WiMAX was created by the WiMAX Forum, which was formed in June 2001 to promote conformance and interoperability of the standard. The forum describes WiMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL." Wireless router A stand-alone wireless hub that allows any computer that has a wireless network adapter to communicate with another computer within the same network and to connect to the Internet.WLAN (Wireless Local-Area Network)A type of local-area network that uses high-frequency radio waves rather than wires to communicate between nodes.WPA* (Wi-Fi Protected Access)This is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access control to a wireless network. WPA is an interim standard that will be replaced with the IEEE's 802.11i standard upon its completion. WPA consists of RC4 and TKIP and provides support for BSS (Infrastructure) mode only. (Not compatible with WPA2.)WPA2* (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)This is the second generation of WPA that complies with the IEEE TGi specification. WPA2 consists of AES encryption, pre-authentication and PMKID caching. It provides support for BSS (Infrastructure) mode and IBSS (ad hoc) mode. (Not compatible with WPA.)WPA-Enterprise Wi-Fi Protected Access-Enterprise applies to corporate users. A new standards-based, interoperable security technology for wireless LAN (subset of IEEE 802.11i draft standard) that encrypts data sent over radio waves. WPA is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve upon the security features of WEP as follows: ● Improved data encryption through the temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP). TKIP uses a hashing algorithm to scramble the encryption keys and adds an integrity-checking feature to ensure that the keys have not been tampered with.● User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer's hardware-specific MAC address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.WPA is an interim standard that will be replaced with the IEEE's 802.11i
standard upon its completion.WPA-Personal Wi-Fi Protected Access-Personal provides a level of security in the small network or home environment.WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key)WPA-PSK mode does not use an authentication server. It can be used with the data encryption types WEP or TKIP. WPA-PSK requires configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK). You must enter a pass phrase or 64 hex characters for a pre-shared key of length 256-bits. The data encryption key is derived from the PSK.Back to TopBack to ContentsTrademarks and Disclaimers

Connection Details DescriptionName DescriptionProfile Name Name of the profile. Network Name Network Name (SSID) of the current connection.
Signal Quality A radio frequency (RF) signal can be assessed by two components: ● signal strength (quantity)● signal qualityThe quality of the signal is determined by a combination of factors. Primarily it is composed of signal strength and the ratio of the RF noise present. RF noise occurs both naturally and artificially by electrical equipment. If the amount of the RF noise is high, or the signal strength is low, it results in a lower signal to noise ratio, which causes poorer signal quality. With a low signal to noise ratio, it is difficult for the radio receiver to discern the data information contained in the signal from the noise itself. Signal Strength The signal strength icon bars indicate the quality of the transmit and receive signals between your wireless adapter and the access point or computer in Device to Device (ad hoc) mode. The number of vertical green bars indicates the strength of the transmit and receive signals.NOTE: The signal strength is displayed for the closest AP for networks that contains multiple APs.The signal strength ranges from excellent to out of range. The following factors affect signal strength:● Signal quality decreases with distance and is affected by metal and concrete barriers. ● Metal objects can reflect signals and cause interference. ● Other electrical devices can cause interference.

Provides the help information for the current page.Set up Data Encryption and AuthenticationIn a home wireless network you can use a variety of simple security procedures to protect your wireless connection. These include:● Enable Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA*).● Change your password.● Change the network name (SSID).Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption provides protection for your data on the network. WPA uses an encryption key called a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) to encrypt data before transmission. Enter the same password in all of the computers and access point in your home or small business network. Only devices that use the same encryption key can access the network or decrypt the encrypted data transmitted by other computers. The password automatically initiates the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) or AES-CCMP protocol for the data encryption process.Network Keys
WEP encryption provides two levels of security:● 64-bit key (sometimes referred to as 40-bit)● 128-bit key (also known as 104-bit)For improved security, use a 128-bit key. If you use encryption, all wireless devices on your wireless network must use the same encryption keys.You can create the key yourself and specify the key length (64-bit or 128-bit) and key index (the location that a specific key is stored). The greater the key length, the more secure the key. When the length of a key is increased by one character, the number of possible keys doubles.Key Length: 64-bitPass phrase (64-bit): Enter five (5) alphanumeric characters, 0-9, a-z or A-Z. Hex key (64-bit): Enter 10 hexadecimal characters, 0-9, A-F. Key Length: 128-bitPass phrase (128-bit): Enter 13 alphanumeric characters, 0-9, a-z or A-Z. Hex key (128-bit): Enter 26 hexadecimal characters, 0-9, A-F.With WEP data encryption, wireless station can be configured with up to four keys (the key index values are 1, 2, 3, and 4). When an access point or a wireless station transmits an encrypted message that uses a key stored in a specific key index, the transmitted message indicates the key index that was used to encrypt the message body. The receiving access point or wireless station can then retrieve the key that is stored at the key index and use it to decode the encrypted message body.Set up a Client with Open Authentication and No Data Encryption (None) CAUTION: Networks using no authentication or encryption are highly vulnerable to access by unauthorized users. On the Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi main window, use one of the following methods to connect to a device to device network:● Double-click a Device to Device (ad hoc) network in the WiFi Networks list. ● Select a Device to Device (ad hoc) network in the WiFi Networks list. Click Connect. The Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility automatically detects the
security settings for the wireless adapter.To create a profile for a wireless network connection with no encryption perform these steps:1. Click Profiles on the WiFi connection utility main window.2. On the Profiles list, click Add to open the Create Wireless Profile General Settings.3. Profile Name: Enter a descriptive profile name.4. Wireless Network Name (SSID): Enter the name of your wireless network.5. Operating Mode: Click Device to Device (ad hoc). 6. Click Next to open the Security Settings. Personal Security is selected by default.7. Security Settings: The default setting is None, which indicates that there is no security on this wireless network.8. Click OK. The profile is added to the Profiles list and connects to the wireless network.Set up a Client with WEP 64-bit or WEP 128-bit Data EncryptionWhen WEP data encryption is enabled, a network key or password is used for encryption.A network key is provided for you automatically (for example, it might be provided by your wireless network adapter manufacturer), or you can enter it yourself and specify the key length (64-bit or 128-bit), key format (ASCII characters or hexadecimal digits), and key index (the location where a specific key is stored). The greater the key length, the more secure the key.To add a network key for an infrastructure network connection:1. On the WiFi connection utility main window, double-click an infrastructure network in the WiFi Networks list or select the network and click Connect.2. Click Profiles to access the Profiles list.3. Click Properties to open the Create Wireless Profile General Settings. The Profile name and Wireless Network Name (SSID) display. Network (Infrastructure) should be selected as the Operating Mode.4.

Security Settings: Select either WEP 64-bit or WEP 128-bit to configure WEP data encryption with a 64-bit or 128-bit key.When WEP encryption is enabled on an access point, the WEP key is used to verify access to the network. If the wireless device does not have the correct
WEP key, even though authentication is successful, the device is unable to transmit data through the access point or decrypt data received from the access point.Name DescriptionPassword Enter the Wireless Security Password (Pass phrase) or Encryption Key (WEP key). Pass phrase (64-bit ) Enter five (5) alphanumeric characters, 0-9, a-z or A-Z. WEP key (64-bit) Enter 10 hexadecimal characters, 0-9, A-F.Pass phrase (128-bit) Enter 13 alphanumeric characters, 0-9, a-z or A-Z. WEP key (128-bit) Enter 26 hexadecimal characters, 0-9, A-F.2. Key Index: Change the Key Index to set up to four passwords. 3. Click OK to return to the Profiles list.To add more than one password: 1. Select the Key Index number: 1, 2, 3, or 4.2. Enter the Wireless Security Password.3. Select another Key Index number.4. Enter another Wireless Security Password.5. Click OK to return to the Profiles list.Set up a Client with WPA*-Personal (TKIP) or WPA2*-Personal (TKIP) Security SettingsWPA* Personal Mode requires manual configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK) on the access point and clients. This PSK authenticates a user's password or identifying code, on both the client station and the access point. The access point performs the authentication. WPA Personal Mode is targeted to home and small business environments. WPA2* is the second generation of WPA security that provides enterprise and consumer wireless users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can access their wireless networks. WPA2 provides a stronger encryption mechanism through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some corporate and government users.NOTE: To achieve transfer rates greater than 54 Mbps on 802.11n connections, WPA2-AES security must be selected. No security (None) can be selected to enable network setup and troubleshooting.
To configure a profile with WPA-Personal network authentication and TKIP data encryption:1. On the WiFi connection utility main window, double-click an infrastructure network in the WiFi Networks list or select the network and click Connect.2. Click Profiles to access the Profiles list.3. Click Properties to open the Wireless Profile Properties General Settings. The Profile name and Wireless Network Name (SSID) display. Network (Infrastructure) should be selected as the Operating Mode.4. Click Next to open the Security Settings. 5. Select Personal Security.6. Security Settings: Select WPA-Personal (TKIP) to provide security to a small business network or home environment. A password, called a pre-shared key (PSK), is used. The longer the password, the stronger the security of the wireless network.If your wireless access point or router supports WPA2-Personal, then you should enable it on the access point and provide a long, strong password. The longer the password, the stronger the security of the wireless network. The same password entered in the access point needs to be used on this computer and all other wireless devices that access the wireless network.NOTE: WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal are interoperable.7. Wireless Security Password (Encryption Key): Enter a text phrase with eight to 63 characters. Verify that the network key matches the password in the wireless access point.8. Click OK to return to the Profiles list.Set up a Client with WPA*-Personal (AES-CCMP) or WPA2*-Personal (AES-CCMP) Security SettingsWi-Fi Protected Access (WPA*) is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access control to a wireless network. WPA enforces 802.1X authentication and key-exchange and only works with dynamic encryption keys. For a home user or small business, WPA-Personal uses either Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol (AES-CCMP) or Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).NOTE: To achieve transfer rates greater than 54 Mbps on 802.11n connections, WPA2-AES security must be selected. No security (None) can be selected to enable network setup and troubleshooting.To create a profile with WPA2*-Personal network authentication and AES-CCMP data encryption:
1. On the WiFi connection utility main window, double-click an infrastructure network from the WiFi Networks list or select the network and click Connect.2. If these are being transmitted, the Profile name and Wireless Network Name (SSID) should display on the General Settings screen. Network (Infrastructure) should be selected as the Operating Mode.
