Security WirelessAuthentication When Security Mode is set to Open, wireless transmissions are not encrypted, and the network can be compromised. Three encryption methods are available: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-shared Key (WPA-PSK), Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-shared Key (WPA2-PSK) Choose a setting that can be used by all the wireless devices that will link to the Modem Router. WEP(WiredEquivalentPrivacy) WEP is a common protocol that adds security to all Wi-Fi-compliant wireless products. WEP was designed to give wireless networks the equivalent level of privacy protection as a comparable wired network. 64-BitWEP 64-bit WEP was first introduced with 64-bit encryption, which includes a key length of 40 bits plus 24 additional bits of system-generated data (64 bits total). Some hardware manufacturers refer to 64-bit as 40-bit encryption. Shortly after the technology was introduced, researchers found that 64-bit encryption was too easy to decode. Select "64-bit WEP" from the drop-down menu. Default Transmit Key - When you use 64-bit WEP, you can set up to four encryption keys. As long as the keys are identical and in the same order on all devices, each device can use any one of the four to encrypt transmitted data. After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your key by typing in the hex key manually. A hex (hexadecimal) key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A­F and 0­9. For 64-bit WEP, you need to enter 10 hex characters, (For instance: AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit WEP key) or 10 keyboard characters. Each of your computers on your wireless network will now need to be configured with the same security settings. WARNING: If you are configuring the Wireless Router or access point from a computer with a wireless client, you will lose your connection until you enable security on your wireless client. Please be sure to write down your key before applying changes 128-BitWEP As a result of 64-bit WEP's potential security weaknesses, 128Bit WEP was developed as a more secure method of encryption. 128-bit encryption includes a key length of 104 bits plus 24 additional bits of system-generated data (128 bits total). Some hardware manufacturers refer to 128-bit as 104-bit encryption. Most of the new wireless equipment in the market today supports both 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption, but you might have older equipment that only supports 64-bit WEP. All Buffalo wireless products will support both 64-bit and 128-bit WEP. Select "128-bit WEP" from the drop-down menu.
