[. . . ] Encryption: When you choose to disable encryption, it is very insecure to operate ESR6650. Enable 802. 1x Authentication IEEE 802. 1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this Access Point before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE 802. 1x, but it does not encrypt the data during communication. WEP Encryption When you select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to encrypt data. You can generate the key by yourself and enter it. You can enter four WEP keys and select one of them as a default key. Then AP can receive any packet encrypted by one of the four keys. 39 Authentication Type: There are two authentication types: "Open System" and "Shared Key". Both AP and wireless client must be configured with the same authentication type. Key Length: You can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit. The larger the key will be the higher level of security is used, but the throughput will be lower. Key Type: You may select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal Digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key. Default Key: It's the key used to encrypt data. Key1 - Key4: The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network. Use the following rules to setup a WEP key on the device. 64-bit WEP: input 10-digits Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys. 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 13-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys. Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. WPA Pre-Shared Key Encryption Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a preshared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to be cracked by hackers. This is the best security available. 40 WPA-Radius Encryption Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use an external RADIUS server to authenticate wireless stations and provide the session key to encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key frequently. Press <Apply> button when you are done. 41 - MAC Address Filtering This wireless router supports MAC Address Control, which prevents unauthorized clients from accessing your wireless network. Enable wireless access control: Enable the wireless access control function Adding an address into the list Enter the "MAC Address" and "Description" of the wireless station to be added and then click <Add>. The wireless station will now be added into the "MAC Address Filtering Table" below. If you are having any difficulties filling in the fields, just click "Reset" and both "MAC Address" and "Description" fields will be cleared. Remove an address from the list If you want to remove a MAC address from the "MAC Address Filtering Table", select the MAC address that you want to remove in the list and then click "Delete Selected". If you want to remove all the MAC addresses from the list, just click the <Delete All> button. Click <Reset> will clear your current selections. Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. - Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) 42 WPS is the simplest way to establish a connection between the wireless clients and the wireless router. [. . . ] If you wish to use this function, you must select the Daylight Savings Time period and check/tick the enable box to enable your daylight saving configuration. Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations Synchronize with PC You could synchronize timer with your Local PC time. 86 PC Date and Time: This field would display the PC date and time. Daylight Savings: The router can also take Daylight Savings into account. If you wish to use this function, you must select the Daylight Savings Time period and check/tick the enable box to enable your daylight saving configuration. Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. - Power Saving power in WLAN mode can be enabled / disabled in this page. 87 - Diagnosis This page could let you diagnosis your current network status. - Firmware This page allows you to upgrade the router's firmware. To upgrade the firmware of your Router, you need to download the firmware file to your local hard disk, and enter that file name and path in the appropriate field on this page. [. . . ]
