Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this device to prevent unauthorized access to
your wireless network. The WEP setting must be as same as each client in your wireless network.
Authentication Type: Open, Shared and Auto. When choose “Open” or “Shared”, all of the
clients must select the same authentication to associate this AP. If select “WEP Auto”, the clients
don’t have to use the same “Open” or “Shared” authentication. They can choose any one to
authenticate.

Key 1/2/3/4: Select “ASCII” or “Hex” and then type the key in the text field.
64-bit WEP Encryption：64-bit WEP keys are as same as the encryption method of 40-bit WEP.
When input 10 hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f or A-F) or 5 ACSII chars as the key, it is using 64-bit
WEP encryption.
128-bit WEP Encryption：128-bit WEP keys are as same as the encryption method of 104-bit
WEP. When input 26 hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f or A-F) or 13 ACSII chars, it is using 128-bit
WEP encryption.
WPA/WPA2-PSK:
Pass Phrase:
Option: Pass Phrase (8-64 characters). This mode requires only an access point and client station
that supports WPA-PSK. The WPA-PSK settings include Key Format, Length and Value. They
must be as same as each wireless client in your wireless network. When Key format is
Passphrase, the key value should have 8-64 ACSII characters.
Key Renewal Interval:
The WPA Algorithm will regroup the key for a period. The default value is 3600 seconds and you
can adjust the time interval.
Access Policy
For each SSID, the Access Policy can be selected and setup. The policy includes “Reject” and
“Allow”. The Reject policy rejects the station according to the MAC table in the policy configuration,
and let the other stations to connect. The allow policy performs reversely.
Add a station MAC: Key in station MAC Address in the text field. The valid format of the MAC

Make sure that mode, SSID, Channel and encryption settings are set the same on each wireless
adapter. Make sure that your computer is within range and free from any strong electrical devices
that may cause interference.
6. What devices cause interference?
Answer:
The AP is operating in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz band. Other devices operate in this frequency range
that may cause interference include microwave ovens and 2.4 GHz portable phones. PCs or analog
cellular phones do not operate at 2.4 GHz and do not cause interference. Proper placement of
access points usually eliminates interference problems created by other 2.4 GHz devices.
