Reference Manual for the RangeMax 240 Wireless Router WPNT834 Table 4-1. Basic Wireless Security Options Field Description Automatic No wireless security. WEP WEP offers the following options: • Open System With Open Network Authentication and 64- or 128-bit WEP Data Encryption, the WPNT834 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 wireless router automatically detects whether Open System or Shared Key is used. WPA-PSK WPA-Pre-shared Key does perform authentication. WPA2-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 Password Phrase 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 WPA patch do include the client software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA.
