must set the same encryption key to maintain the tightened communication with the ADSL Router properly. The

Authenticate Algorithm options are:

When the wired Equivalent Privacy Mechanism is Turns off. Using Open-key as authentication algorithm, you are

running the risk of allowing some unauthorized wireless LAN cards that have the capability of eavesdropping your

Turns on encryption. Wired Equivalent Privacy Mechanism is Turns on. You should select the encryption key length

as 64 or 128 bit key. Then enter the encryption key in Key Entry fields.

Note: When Wired Equivalent Privacy Mechanism is enabled, the wireless client must be

configured with exactly the same encryption level (64 or 128-bit) and encryption key as

identified in the ADSL Router, so that access to the unit is allowed.
