Reference Manual for the Double 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall Router WGU624 • Disable. No encryption will be applied. This setting is useful for troubleshooting your wireless connection, but leaves your wireless data fully exposed. • 64-bit, 128-bit, or 152-bit WEP. When selected, WEP encryption will be applied. If encryption strength is set to 128 bit or 152 bit, then only the selected WEP key box will automatically be populated with key values. If WEP is enabled, you can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys. These values must be identical on all PCs and access points in your network. There are two methods for creating WEP encryption keys: • Passphrase. Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click the Generate button. These characters are case sensitive. • Manual. For 64-bit WEP, enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). For 128-bit WEP, enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). For 152-bit WEP, enter 32 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). These values are not case sensitive. WPA Encryption You can select WPA-PSK or WPA for the Security Mode. The default is 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. You must use the same wireless security settings on the client adapters to properly implement WPA security. Figure 4-5: Security Modes Wireless Configuration M-10153-01 4-11
