Menu path: Setup > Network > LAN Interfaces > Wireless > Default Wi-Fi Network

Here you can configure wireless network connections.

  • Disable encryption: No encryption will be used. (default)
  • Enable WEP encryption: WEP encryption will be used.
  • Enable WPA encryption: WPA encryption will be used.
    You will need to give further information depending on the encryption method chosen.
  • Wireless network name (SSID): Name of the wireless network (SSID)

For WEP encryption

  • Transmit key ID: Choose from a maximum of four configurable keys (default 1).
  • Key format:
    • ASCII
    • Hexadecimal
  • Key [1 - 4]: Enter the key here.
    Characters to be entered for WEP keys:
    • For 64 bit encryption, 5 characters (ASCII) or 10 hex digits (hexadecimal)
    • For 128 bit encryption, 13 characters (ASCII) or 26 hex digits (hexadecimal)

For WPA encryption

  • Network authentication:
    • WPA Personal: Wi-fi Protected Access pre-shared key (WPA / IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
    • WPA Enterprise: Wi-fi Protected Access with 802.1X authentication (WPA / IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
    • WPA2 Personal: Wi-fi Protected Access pre-shared key (WPA2 / IEEE 802.11i/RSN)
    • WPA2 Enterprise: Wi-fi Protected Access with 802.1X authentication (WPA2/IEEE 802.11i/RSN)
  • Network key: WPA network key/passphrase as set at the dial-in point. This is either an ASCII character string with a length of 8...63 or exactly 64 hexadecimal digits.
  • Show

    The network key is shown.

    The network key is hidden. (default)

  • Data encryption:
    • Default: The default value depends on which network authentication method is selected - TKIP for WPA, AES (CCMP) for WPA2.
    • TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (IEEE 802.11i/D7.0)
    • AES (CCMP): AES in counter mode with CBC-MAC (RFC 3610, IEEE 802.11i/D7.0)
    • AES (CCMP) + TKIP: One of two encryption methods is selected by the access point.
    • Automatic: The access point can choose the encryption method freely – nothing is stipulated.
