RangeMax NEXT Wireless Router Model WNR854T Reference Manual Table 2-1. Basic Wireless Security Options Field Description None No wireless security. WEP WEP offers the following options: • Open System With Open Network Authentication and 64- or 128-bit WEP Data Encryption, the WNR854T 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 passphrase key generation. • Auto The router automatically detects whether Open System or Shared Key is being used. WPA-PSK WPA-Pre-shared Key does perform authentication. WPA-PSK uses TKIP (Temporal Key WPA2-PSK Integrity Protocol) data encryption and WPA2-PSK uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) data encryption. Both dynamically change the encryption keys, making them nearly impossible to circumvent. Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box. These characters are case sensitive. Note: Not all wireless adapter configuration utilities support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on the client. Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows XP Service Pack 1 with the WPA patch do include the client software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA. Wireless Configuration 2-5 v1.0, 2006-04

WEP
WEP offers the following options:
•
Open System
With Open Network Authentication and 64- or 128-bit WEP Data Encryption, the WNR854T
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 passphrase key generation.
• Auto
The router automatically detects whether Open System or Shared Key is being used.
WPA-PSK
WPA2-PSK
WPA-Pre-shared Key
does
perform authentication. WPA-PSK uses TKIP (Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol) data encryption and WPA2-PSK uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
data encryption. Both dynamically change the encryption keys, making them nearly impossible
to circumvent.
Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box. These characters
are
case sensitive.
Note
: Not all wireless adapter configuration utilities support WPA. Furthermore, client software
is required on the client. Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows XP Service Pack 1 with
the WPA patch do include the client software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless
adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA.
