WEP

WEP Key Length - WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a

common encryption mo de. It is safe enough for hom e and personal use. However, if you need higher level of security, please consider using WPA encryption (see next section).

Some wireless clients do not support WPA, but support WEP. Therefore WEP is still a good choice for you if you have such kind of client in your networ k env ironm ent.

WEP Key Entry Method - There are two types of WEP key length: 64-bit and 128-bit. Using 128-bit is safer than 64-bit, but it will reduce some data transfer performance.

There are two types of key method: ASCII and Hex. When you select a key format, the number of characters of key will be displayed. For exam ple, if you select 6 4-bi t as key length, and Hex as key format, you’ll see the message at the right of Key Format is ‘Hex (10 characters) which means the length of WEP key is 10 characters.

Load Balance can help to distribute the traffic for all of the access points (e.g., VigorAP) registered to Vigor router. Thus, the bandwidth will not be occupied by certain access points.

However, traffic overload might be occurred if too many wireless stations connected to VigorAP for data incoming and outgoing. Therefore, “Force Overload Disassociation” is required to terminate the network connection of the client’s station to release network traffic. When the function of “Force Overload Disassociation” in web user interface of Vigor router (e.g., Vigor2860 or Vigor2925 series) is enabled, wireless clients specified in black list of such web page will be disassociated to solve the problem of traffic overload.

To boost its performance further, the VigorAP 810 is also loaded with advanced wireless technology to lift up data rate up to 300 Mbps*. Hence, you can finally smoothly enjoy stream music and video.

Note:

* The actual data throughput will vary according to the network conditions and

environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, network overhead and building materials.

In an Infrastructure Mode of wireless network, VigorAP 810 plays a role as an Access Point (AP) connecting to lots of wireless clients or Stations (STA). All the STAs will share the same Internet connection via VigorAP 810. The General Setup will set up the information of this wireless network, including its SSID as identification, located channel etc.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a legacy method to encrypt each frame transmitted via radio using either a 64-bit or 128-bit key. Usually access point will preset a set of four keys and it will communicate with each station using only one out of the four keys.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the most dominating security mechanism in industry, is separated into two categories: WPA-personal or called WPA Pre-Share Key (WPA/PSK), and WPA-Enterprise or called WPA/802.1x.

In WPA-Personal, a pre-defined key is used for encryption during data transmission. WPA applies Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for data encryption while WPA2 applies AES. The WPA-Enterprise combines not only encryption but also authentication.

Since WEP has been proved vulnerable, you may consider using WPA for the most secure connection. You should select the appropriate security mechanism according to your needs. No matter which security suite you select, they all will enhance the over-the-air data protection and /or privacy on your wireless network. The VigorAP 810 is very flexible and can support multiple secure connections with both WEP and WPA at the same time.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) provides easy procedure to make network connection between wireless station and wireless access point (VigorAP 810) with the encryption of WPA and WPA2.

It is the simplest way to build connection between wireless network clients and VigorAP 810. Users do not need to select any encryption mode and type any long encryption passphrase to setup a wireless client every time. He/she only needs to press a button on wireless client, and WPS will connect for client and VigorAP 810 automatically.

Airtime fairness is essential in wireless networks that must support critical enterprise applications.

Most of the applications are either symmetric or require more downlink than uplink capacity; telephony and email send the same amount of data in each direction, while video streaming and web surfing involve more traffic sent from access points to clients than the other way around. This is essential for ensuring predictable performance and quality-of-service, as well as allowing 802.11n and legacy clients to coexist on the same network. Without airtime fairness, offices using mixed mode networks risk having legacy clients slow down the entire network or letting the fastest client(s) crowd out other users.

With airtime fairness, every client at a given quality-of-service level has equal access to the network's airtime.

The wireless channel can be accessed by only one wireless station at the same time.

The principle behind the IEEE802.11 channel access mechanisms is that each station has equal probability to access the channel. When wireless stations have similar data rate, this principle leads to a fair result. In this case, stations get similar channel access time which is called airtime.

However, when stations have various data rate (e.g., 11g, 11n), the result is not fair. The slow stations (11g) work in their slow data rate and occupy too much airtime, whereas the fast stations (11n) become much slower.

Take the following figure as an example, both Station A(11g) and Station B(11n) transmit data packets through VigorAP 810. Although they have equal probability to access the wireless channel, Station B(11n) gets only a little airtime and waits too much because Station A(11g) spends longer time to send one packet. In other words, Station B(fast rate) is obstructed by Station A(slow rate).

To improve this problem, Airtime Fairness is added for VigorAP 810. Airtime Fairness function tries to assign similar airtime to each station (A/B) by controlling TX traffic. In the following figure, Station B(11n) has higher probability to send data packets than Station A(11g). By this way, Station B(fast rate) gets fair airtime and it's speed is not limited by Station A(slow rate).

VigorAP 810 User’s Guide

It is similar to automatic Bandwidth Limit. The dynamic bandwidth limit of each station depends on instant active station number and airtime assignment. Please note that Airtime Fairness of 2.4GHz and 5GHz are independent. But stations of different SSIDs function together, because they all use the same wireless channel. IN SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTS, this function can reduce the bad influence of slow wireless devices and improve the overall wireless performance.

Suitable environment:

(1) Many wireless stations. (2) All stations mainly use download traffic. (3) The performance bottleneck is wireless connection.

Available settings are explained as follows:

Station Control is used to specify the duration for the wireless client to connect and reconnect VigorAP. If such function is not enabled, the wireless client can connect VigorAP until it shuts down.

Such feature is especially useful for free Wi-Fi service. For example, a coffee shop offers free Wi-Fi service for its guests for one hour every day. Then, the connection time can be set as “1 hour” and reconnection time can be set as “1 day”. Thus, the guest can finish his job within one hour and will not occupy the wireless network for a long time.

802.11 standard defines two mechanisms for authentication of wireless LAN clients: Open Authentication and Shared Key Authentication.

Choose one of the security modes from the drop down list. If you choose OPEN or SHARED, you have to type WEP information.

OPEN – Open authentication is basically null authentication algorithm, which mea ns that there is no verification of the user.

SHARED – It works simi lar to Open authentication with onl y one major difference. If you choose OPEN with WEP encryption key, the WEP keys is used to encrypt and decrypt the data but not for authentication. In Shared key authentication, WEP encryption will be used for authentication.

WEP

If you choose WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal, the corresponding WPA settings will be listed as follows. You have to choose the WPA algorithms and type the pass phrase for such security mode.

WPA Algorithms – Choose Temporal Key Integ rity P rotocol (TKIP) or AES for data encryption.

Pass Phrase – Please type 8 to 63 alphanumerical characters here.

WEP Key Length - WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a common encryption mo de. It is safe enough for hom e and personal use. However, if you need higher level of security, please consider using WPA encryption (see next section).

Some wireless clients do not support WPA, but support WEP. Therefore WEP is still a good choice for you if you have such kind of client in your networ k env ironm ent.

WEP Key Entry Method - There are two types of WEP key length: 64-bit and 128-bit. Using 128-bit is safer than 64-bit, but it will reduce some data transfer performance.
