Version 1.0.15

Enabling WEP can protect your data from eavesdroppers. If you do not need this feature,

select “None” to skip the following setting. 11N Mini Broadband Router supports both 64-bit

and 128-bit encryption using the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm. Select the type

of encryption you want to use (64 or 128 bit) and configure one to four WEP Keys. The

“1280bit” method is more secure than the “64-bit”.

Use 802.1x Authentication

Enable 802.1x Authentication so that a wireless node must be authenticated before it

can gain access to other LAN resources.

Key Length: For 64bits WEP key, either 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal digitals

leading by 0x can be entered. For 128bits WEP key, either 13 ASCII characters or 26

hexadecimal digits leading by 0x can be entered.

Note: 128 bits WEP is most secure, but has more encryption/decryption overhead. Note that all wireless devices

must support the same WEP encryption bit size and have the same key. Four keys can be entered here, but

only one key can be selected at a time. The keys can be entered in ASCII or Hexadecimal. Select the item

from drop-down list you wish to use.

Encryption Key: At most four keys can be set. A WEP key is either 10 or 26

hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) based on whether you select 64 bit or 128 bit in

the WEP drop-down list.

2. Encryption – WPA (WPA, WPA2 & WPA2 Mixed)

The WPA, WPA2 & WPA2 Mixed encrypt each frame transmitted from the radio using the

Version 1.0.15

100

pre-shared key (PSK) which entered from this panel or a key got dynamically through

802.1x.

WPA Authentication Mode

Enterprise (RADIUS): Please input the port, IP address, and password of

authentication RADIUS Server.

Personal (Pre-Shared Key): Pre-Shared Key type is coding in ASCII, and the

length is between 8 to 63 characters. If the coding is in Hex, the key length is 64

characters.
