4.4.2 Interface Tabs
The soft AC consists of five primary tabs.

4.4.2.1 AP list

15
Network Adapter: Selects the network you use.
Language: Selects the language for use in the interface
Apply: Click Apply to save changes.

4.4.2.2 IP Settings

New IP: This is where the IP address you can change.

Apply: Click Apply to save changes.

16
4.4.2.3 SSID Settings

Name/SSID: Allows you to edit the wireless network name(SSID).

4.2.5 Wireless Encryption

Security Encryption: Selects the type of security to use on your wireless network.
Password: A new password can be entered in this field.
Apply: Click Apply to save changes.

WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and uses the
RC4 encryption algorithm. Enabling WEP allows you to increase security by encryption
data being transferred over your wireless network. WEP is the oldest security algorithm,

18
and there are few applications that can decrypt the WEP key in less than 10 minutes.

Encryption type: 64-bit/128-bit, by default it is 64-bit.

64-bit—For 64 bits WEP key, either 5 ASCII characters, such as 12345 (or 10
hexadecimal digitals leading by 0x, such as 0x414234445.)
128-bit—For 128 bits WEP key, either 13 ASCII characters, such as
ABCDEFGHIJKLM (or 26 hexadecimal digits leading by 0x, such as
0x4142434445464748494A4B4C4D).

Key type: If you choose 64 bit, there will be two Key Formats selectable: ASCII (5
characters) and Hex (10 characters). If 128-bit, the Key Formats should comply with
ASCII (13 characters) or Hex (26 characters)

Apply: Click Apply to save changes.

WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most dominating security mechanism in industry. It
is separated into two categories: WPA-personal or called WPA Pre-Share Key
(WPA/PSK), and WPA-Enterprise or called WPA/802.1x. WPA2 means Wi-Fi Protected
Access 2, it is the current most secure method of wireless security and required for
802.11n performance.

AES--Advanced Encryption Standard is another cipher for data encryption supported by

WPA.

19
WPA/WPA2
This option mixes WPA/WPA2 together. It will provide the best security for your router.
TKIP--Temporal Key Integrity Protocol is one cipher for data encryption supported by
WPA.

AES--Advanced Encryption Standard is another cipher for data encryption supported by

WPA.
