[. . . ] To set up WPA-PSK, you need to key in a passphrase and let the system generate the key. Combination of letters, numbers and non-alphanumeric characters is recommended for ensuring security. Encryption Encryption is used to convert plain text data into unreadable codes with certain type of algorithm before capsulation for wireless transmission. WL-AM604g supports the following encryption methods: WEP: TKIP: AES: WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. Key in a passphrase to let the system generate the WEP keys. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) dynamically generates unique keys to encrypt every data packet in a wireless session. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a dependable encryption adopted in WPA2 or IEEE802. 11i standard. It offers stronger protection and greatly increases the complexity of wireless encryption. TKIP+AES: For a network where WPA clients (using TKIP encryption) and WPA2 clients (using AES encryption) co-exist. Select this option to enable both. Howtosetupwirelesssecurity Open 1. Click Wireless->Security in the navigation menu to open the configuration page. 18 WL-AM604g11gWiFiADSLRouterUserManual xDSL AP LINK ACT 4 3 LAN 2 1 ! 3. Select Enable in the WEPEncryption field to use WEP keys for data encryptions. Select 64-bit or 128-bit Encryption Strength for key length then click Set Encryption Keys button to set up the keys. If you do not want to encrypt data, select Disable in WEPEncryption and skip to Step 5. After clicking the Set Encryption Keys button, you are directed to another page to set up the keys. To obtain system-generated keys, select EnableASUS PassPhraseand key in a passphrase, and the system automatically generates four network keys for you. You can also disable ASUS Passphrase and enter four keys manually. Take note of the passphrase (if any) and keys. 5. Press Save/Apply to save and activate the settings. Click Wireless->Security in the navigation menu to open the configuration page. Select Shared in the NetworkAuthentication field to use WEP authentication. Shared mode use the same WEP keys for both encryption and authentication. Hence, the WEP Encryption is fixed to Enabled 3. Select 64-bit or 128-bit Encryption Strength for key length then click Set EncryptionKeys button to set up the keys. Refer to Open mode Step 4 for key configuration. [. . . ] For more complicated network such as an enterprise network where several routers and different subnets exist, you need to configure static routes so as to direct the network traffic correctly. Click AdvancedSetup->Routing->StaticRouteto open the configuration page and view the current static route settings. Press Add to create a new static route. 2. The configurable settings include: · DestinationNetwork: Key in the destination IP address. [. . . ]
