Wireless Security This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. What is WEP? It is based on the IEEE WEP provides security by encrypting data over your wireless network so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one wireless device to another. To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption.

The type of encryption determines the key length. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember. Four keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily. What is WPA? TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys havent been tampered with. WPA2 is based on WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computers 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.

The key is an alpha-numeric password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols!? This key must be the exact same key entered on your wireless router or access point. EAP is built on a more secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network. The SSID is the name of your wireless network. Create a name using up to 32 characters. The SSID is case-sensitive. Enter a password between characters.

The router will generate a passphrase or key based on your password. If you selected Good, the following screen will show you your WEP key to enter on your wireless clients.

Click Save to finish the Security Wizard. If you selected Better, the following screen will show you your Pre-Shared Key to enter on your wireless clients.

Next to Group Key Update Interval, enter the amount of time before the group key used for broadcast and multicast data is changed is default. Next to Pre-Shared Key, enter a key passphrase. The pass-phrase must be between characters. If you are configuring the router with a wireless adapter, you will lose connectivity until you enable WPA-PSK on your adapter and enter the same passphrase as you did on the router. Next to Authentication Timeout, enter the amount of time before a client is required to re-authenticate 60 minutes is default.

If the MAC Address Authentication box is selected then the user will need to connect from the same computer whenever logging into the wireless network.
