This section allows you to configure wireless encryption to prevent unwelcome parties from 
reading your traffic. Authentication can also be configured to block outsiders from accessing your 
network. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Security Mode. Enable Encryption: Tick the box to enable the following suite of Encryption and 
Authentication features. 
Open-System: When chosen, the Key is not used for authentication. It is only used for 
encryption. Open-System uses Static Keys for encryption. Static (Shared) Keys are never 
changed, and a hacker can crack the key after a period of time. 
Shared-Key: When chosen, the encryption Key is also used for authentication between the 
Router and Client. Note that this system is also using Static Keys. 
 
 
 
 

 
Open-System and Shared-Key work like the WEP system in 802.11b networks. 
In fact, 802.11b (11Mbps) cards can turn on WEP and work with the Router 
using either Open-System or Shared-Key. 
Some cards do not support Shared-Key. Use Open-System for simple 
management. 
 

 
Hexadecimal Key Entry: Tick this box if you want to enter the Keys in hexadecimal format. 
Otherwise, enter in ASCII format. ASCII is also called Alphanumeric in some systems. Use the 
same key format for the Router and Client! 
 
 
 
 

Hexadecimal Characters: 
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and a,b,c,d,e,f 
 
ASCII Characters: 
0,1,2,……8,9 and 
a,b,c,d,………x,y,z
