Chapter 3 - Software Configuration

Wireless (Cont.)

Wireless Mode

This field indicates the 802.11g interface mode. Selecting “Auto” allows

802.11g and 802.11b clients to connect to the ASUS Wireless Router.

Selecting “54g Only” maximizes performance, but prevents 802.11b clients

from connecting to the ASUS Wireless Router. If “54g Protection” is

checked, G-Mode protection of 11g traffic is enabled automatically in the

presence of 11b traffic.

Authentication Method

This field enables you to set different authentication methods which

determine different encryption schemes. The relationship between

Authentication Method, Encryption, Passphrase and WEP Keys is listed in

the following table. If all your clients support WPA, using “WPA-PSK” is

recommended for better security.

WPA Encryption

When “WPA-PSK” authentication method is used, the newly proposed TKIP

(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) encryption schemes are applied.

TKIP: TKIP uses an encryption algorithm, which is more stringent than

the WEP algorithm and also uses existing WLAN calculation facilities to

perform encryption operations. TKIP verifies the security configuration

after the encryption keys are determined.

WPA Pre-Shared Key

Selecting “TKIP” in the WPA Encryption, this field is used as a password

to begin the encryption process. Note: 8 to 63 characters are required.
