■WEP
Note:
• WEP is only available on certain devices. To check whether your device
supports this feature, refer to the actual web interface.
• WEP is not supported in 802.11n mode or 802.11ac mode. If WEP is applied in
802.11n, 802.11 ac or 802.11n/ac mixed mode, the clients may not be able to
access the wireless network. If WEP is applied in 802.11b/g/n mode (2.4GHz)
or 802.11a/n (5GHz), the device may work at a low transmission rate.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a traditional encryption method. It has been proved that
WEP has security flaws and can easily be cracked, so WEP cannot provide effective protection
for wireless networks. Since WPA-PSK and WPA-Enterprise are much safer than WEP, we
recommend that you choose WPA-PSK or WPA-Enterprise if your clients also support them.
Auth Type
Select the authentication type for WEP.
Auto: The device can select Open System or Shared Key automatically
based on the wireless capability and request of the clients.
Open System: Clients can pass the authentication and associate with
the wireless network without password. However, correct password is
necessary for data transmission.
Shared Key: Clients have to input the correct password to pass the
authentication, otherwise the clients cannot associate with the wireless
network or transmit data.
Key Format
Select ASCII or Hex as the WEP key format.
ASCII: With this format selected, the WEP key can be any combination of
keyboard characters of the specified length.
Hex: With this format selected, the WEP key can be any combination of
hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f, A-F) with the specified length.
Key Selected
Select one key to specify. You can configure four keys at most.
