Authentication 
When encryption is enabled, this selection allows 
you to choose one of the following authentication 
methods from the drop-down list: 
•  Open System—Open system authentication 
allows any device to authenticate and then 
attempt to communicate with the WAP. 
Communication occurs if both devices have 
matching pre-configured WEP keys. Open 
System authentication does not provide the 
client with confirmation that the link has been 
established. This makes it more difficult for a 
hacker to access the network. 
•  Shared Key—During shared key authentication, 
the WAP sends an unencrypted challenge text 
string to any device attempting to communicate 
with the WAP. The device requesting 
authentication encrypts the challenge text and 
sends it back to the WAP. If the challenge text is 
encrypted correctly, the access point allows the 
requesting device to authenticate. Shared key 
authentication provides the client with feedback 
when a link is denied where Open System 
authentication does not. 
•  Open System or Shared Key—Either Open 
System or Shared Key can associate with the 
WAP and the WAP accepts data from wireless 
clients using the appropriate form of 
authentication.  
Closed Network 
Allows you to disable or enable the network to 
access by wireless clients. When ON is selected, the 
access point does not broadcast the SSID. The 
client device must be configured manually with the 
SSID and the MAC address of the access point in 
order to access with wireless network. 
Allow/Restrict 
Access 
Enables unrestricted access or limits access to 
clients listed in the Access List 
Access List 
Displays the MAC address of the clients that are 
allowed to access the wireless access point 
Connected Clients 
Displays the Host Name, IP Address, and Client ID 
of wireless clients that are connected to (associated 
with) the gateway modem
