WPA-Personal
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides better security than WEP because it uses dynamic key encryption. This standard was implemented as an intermediate measure to replace WEP, pending final completion of the 802.11i stan­dard for WPA2.
WPA-Personal supports Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) or Advanced Encryption System (AES) encryption mechanisms for data encryption (default is TKIP+AES). TKIP uses dynamic keys and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers. AES uses symmetric 128-bit block data encryption.

Security Mode Configuration
WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a data encryption
protocol for 802.11 wireless networks. All wireless stations and SSIDs on the network are configured with a static 64-bit or 128-bit shared key for data encryption. The higher the bit for data encryption, the more secure for your network.
WEP encryption is an older encryption method that is not considered to be secure and can easily be broken. Choose this option only if you need to allow access to devices that do not support WPA or WPA2.
If you choose this option, enter the following information:
Authentication Type: Choose either Open System
or Shared key. The default is Open System.
Encryption: Choose the encryption type: 64 bits
(10 hex digits), 64 bits (5 ASCII), 128 bits (26 hex digits), or 128 bits (13 ASCII). The default is 64 bits (10 hex digits). The larger size keys provide stronger encryption, thus making the key more difficult to crack.
Passphrase: If you want to generate WEP keys by
using a Passphrase, enter any alphanumeric phrase (between 4 to 63 characters) and then click Generate to generate 4 unique WEP keys. Select one key to use as the key that devices must have to use the wireless network.
Default Transmit Key: Choose a key index as the
default transmit key. Key indexes 1 through 4 are available.
Key 1-4: If a WEP Passphrase is not specified, a
key can be entered directly into one of the Key boxes. The length of the key should be 5 ASCII characters (or 10 hex characters) for 64-bit encryption and 13 ASCII characters (or 26 hex characters) for 128-bit encryption.

Configuring Port Triggering
Configuring Port Triggering
Port triggering allows devices on the LAN or DMZ to request one or more ports to be forwarded to them. Port triggering waits for an outbound request from the LAN or DMZ on one of the defined outgoing ports, and then opens an incoming port for that specified type of traffic.
Port triggering is a form of dynamic port forwarding while an application is transmitting data over the opened outgoing or incoming ports. Port triggering opens an incoming port for a specific type of traffic on a defined outgoing port. Port triggering is more flexible than static port forwarding (available when configuring firewall rules) because a rule does not have to reference a specific LAN IP or IP range. Ports are also not left open when not in use, which provides a level of security that port forwarding does not offer.
To add a port triggering rule:
5
STEP 1 Click Networking > Port Triggering. The Port Triggering page opens.
STEP 2 Enter the following information:
WAN Port: Choose the WAN interface for this port triggering rule.
LAN Port: Choose the LAN port for this port triggering rule.
