11a/b/g Wireless Multi-Client Bridge/AP/WDS Version 1.0

not required, however, when selecting Adhoc mode, you must select the same

channel on all points.

 Transmission Rate: Select a transmission rate from the drop-down list. It is

recommended to use the Best (automatic) option.

 802.11 Mode: Select the IEEE 802.11 mode from the drop-down list. For example, if

you are sure that the wireless network will be using only IEEE 802.11g clients, then it

is recommended to select 802.11g only instead of Mixed 802.11g and 802.11b

which will reduce the performance of the wireless network. You may also select

802.11b only or 802.11a only. Do not use this option when configured at Ad-Hoc

mode.

 Click on the Save Settings button once you have modified the settings.

3.3.4 Wireless Security

 Click on the Wireless_Setting link under the Wireless menu. The third part of this

page allows you to configure the security settings of this device. To protect your

privacy this mode supports two types of wireless security: WEP and WPA-Personal.

WEP is the original wireless encryption standard. WPA provides a higher level of

security. WPA-Personal does not require an authentication server.

 Select the None radio button in order to disable security.

3.3.4.1.1 WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

 Select the WEP radio button if your wireless network uses WEP encryption. WEP is

an acronym for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and is a security protocol that provides the

same level of security for wireless networks as for a wired network.

 WEP is not as secure as WPA encryption. To gain access to a WEP network, you

must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using

WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines

the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys

are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F)

or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange - alphanumeric

characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier

to remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the network. Four

keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily. A default key is selected for

use on the network.
