Reference Manual for the MR814 v3 Cable/DSL Wireless Router Table 4-1. Security Options Field Disable WEP Description No wireless security. WEP offers the following options: • Automatic Normally, this can be left to the default setting of automatic. When set to Automatic, the MR814 v3 will make a best effort attempt to use whatever options the wireless station is using. If this fails, you may need to configure this setting so that the MR814 v3 router and wireless stations match. • Open System With Open Network Authentication and 64- or 128-bit WEP Data Encryption, the MR814 v3 does perform 64- or 128-bit data encryption but does not perform any authentication. • Shared Key Shared Key authentication encrypts the SSID and data. Choose the Encryption Strength (64- or 128-bit data encryption). Manually enter the key values or enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box. Manually entered keys are case sensitive but passphrase characters are not case sensitive. Note: Not all wireless adapter configuration utilities support WEP passphrase key generation. WPA-PSK WPA-Pre-shared Key performs authentication, uses 128-bit data encryption, and dynamically changes the encryption keys making it nearly impossible to circumvent. • Passphrase Enter a word or group of between 8-63 printable characters in the Passphrase box. These characters are case sensitive. • Key Lifetime This setting determines how often the encryption key is changed. Shorter periods provide greater security, but adversely affect performance. If desired, you can change the default value. Note: Not all wireless adapter configuration utilities support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on the client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do include the client software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA.
