Security Settings — The security settings determine the authentication mode and 
enable WEP keys. 
• Authentication Mode – Configures the 
authentication mode used by clients.
(WLAN1/WLAN2 Defaults: Open)
Open: Open-system authentication 
accepts any client attempting to connect 
the wireless AP/Router without verifying 
its identity. In this mode the default 
encryption type is "None." 
Shared: The shared-key approach uses 
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) to verify 
client identity by distributing a shared key 
to clients before attempting 
authentication.
WEP Auto: Allows WLAN clients to 
associate using Open-WEP (uses WEP 
for encryption only) or Shared-WEP ( 
uses WEP for authentication and 
encryption). If enabled, you must 
configure at least one key for the VAP 
interface and all its clients. Wired 
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides a 
basic level of security, preventing unauthorized access to the network and 
encrypting data transmitted between wireless clients and the wireless AP/
Router. WEP uses static shared keys (fixed-length hexadecimal or 
alphanumeric strings) that are manually distributed to all clients that want to 
use the network.
WPA Personal or WPA2 Personal: The 
WPA or WPA2 Personal mode uses a 
common password phrase, called a 
Pre-Shared Key, that must be manually 
distributed to all clients that want to 
connect to the network. Specify a key as 
an easy-to-remember form of letters and numbers. The WPA Preshared Key can 
be input as ASCII string (8-63 characters) or Hexadecimal format (length is 64). 
All wireless clients must be configured with the same key to communicate with 
the VAP interface.
