Configuring the Wireless Router

11

Access Control allows users to define the outgoing traffic permitted or 
not-permitted through the WAN interface. The default is to permit all 
outgoing traffic.

The router can transmit your data securely over the wireless network. 
Matching security mechanisms must be setup on your router and 
wireless client devices. You can choose the allowed security 
mechanisms in this page and configure them in the sub-pages.

If you use WEP to protect your wireless network, you need to set the 
same parameters for the  Wireless Router and all your wireless clients.

You may automatically generate encryption keys or manually enter the 
keys. To generate the key automatically with passphrase, check the 
Passphrase box, enter a string of characters. Select the default key from 
the drop down menu. Click "SAVE SETTINGS".

The passphrase can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

To manually configure the encryption key, enter five hexadecimal pairs 
of digits for each 64-bit key, or enter 13 pairs for the single 128-bit key.
(A hexadecimal digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F).
Note that WEP protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but 
does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over 
the Internet.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) combines temporal key integrity 
protocol (TKIP) and 802.1x mechanisms. It provides dynamic key 
encryption and 802.1x authentication service.

If 802.1x is used in your network, then you should enable this function 
for the Wireless Router. These parameters are used for the Wireless 
Router to connect to the authentication server.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) enables typical users who possess little 
understanding of traditional Wi-Fi configuration and security settings to 
easily configure new wireless networks, to add new devices and to 
enable security.
