Actiontec Wireless Broadband Router User Manual 802.1X WEP If 802.1X WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) was chosen, no other settings need to be changed. 802.1x WEP is a robust security protocol that uses port control with dynamically changing encryption keys automatically updated over the network. 802.11x WEP uses a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-in Service) server for authentication purposes. This server must be physically connected to the Router. Also, the user must enable the RADIUS client embedded in the Router (to do this, see chapter 9, "Advanced Settings"). Non-802.1X WEP If Non-802.1X WEP was chosen: 1. Activate WEP key 1 by clicking in the circle next to "1" on the left side. 2. Select the length of key 1 by selecting "64/40 bit" or "128/104 bit" from the appropriate drop-down list in the "Key Length" column. 3. Select the type of key from the appropriate drop-down list in the "Entry Method" column. If "Hex" is selected, the key must be made up of hexadecimal digits. If "ASCII" is selected, the key can be made up of any characters. 34

“Advanced Settings”).
