Wireless Security Mode
Selecting a wireless security mode helps protect your network. If you select Disable then your wireless network is not secure and any wireless device within range may connect to it.
Disable
This option features no security on your wireless network.
WEP
This security mode is defined in the original IEEE 802.11 standard. This mode is no longer recommended because of its weak security protection. Users are urged to migrate to WPA2.
-
Encryption
Select a level of WEP encryption, 40 / 64 bits (10 hex digits) or 104 / 128 bits (26 hex digits).
-
Wireless Passphrase
To complete your wireless security setup you should choose a wireless passphrase that is easy for you to remember and hard for anyone else to guess. The first time you connect a new wireless device to this network you may need to enter this passphrase into the appropriate setup section in the connected device. To improve your network security do not give out this passphrase to unauthorized users. Please enter a phrase of letters and/or numbers from 4 to 24 digits long. [internal note verify min/max passphrase length].
-
Key 1-4
