Wireless Tab / Wireless Security


The Wireless security settings tab configures the security of your wireless network. There are five wireless security mode options supported by the Router: Disabled, WEP, WPA Personal, WPA2 Personal, and WPA2 Mixed Mode.

If you want to use a Passphrase, then enter it in the Passphrase field and click the Generate button. If you want to enter the WEP key manually, then enter it in the WEP Key 1-4 field(s). To indicate which WEP key to use, select the appropriate TX Key number.

WPA Personal

Enter the Passphrase, which can have 8 to 63 characters. Then enter the Key Renewal period, which instructs the Router how often it should change the encryption keys.
