have the matching password from joining the network, while
encrypting the data traveling between authorized devices.
This is also for home and small business use.
When selecting this mode, the AP supports
both WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.
Five options are available in the drop-down menu.
Disables the encryption mode.
Enables WEP Data Encryption. When the item is selected,
continue setting the WEP Key.
The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol changes the temporal
key every 10,000 packets (a kind of message transmitted over a
network.) This ensures much greater security than standard WEP
security.
Advanced Encryption Standard was developed to provide the
highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information.
It’s the most advanced solution dened by IEEE 802.11i for security
in a wireless network.
In this mode, the AP supports both TKIP and AES.
The WPA-PSK key can be 8 to 64 characters in
length and can be letters or numbers. This same key must be used on
all the wireless stations in the network.
This function is available when using WPA-PSK
and WPA2-PSK encryption algorithms.
WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted
in the wireless network. There are two types of key length: 64-bit and
128-bit. Assign a default encryption key (Key#1 to Key#4) by clicking
on the corresponding radio button. To ll in each text eld:
Input 10-digit hex values (in the A-F, a-f and 0-9 range) or
5-digit ASCII characters (a-z and 0-9) as the encryption keys.
For example: “0123456aef” or “test1.”
Input 26-digit hex values (in the A-F, a-f and 0-9 range) or
13-digit ASCII characters (“a-z” and “0-9”) as the encryption keys.
For example: “01234567890123456789abcdef“ or “administrator.”
The password will be displayed in clear text instead
of with asterisks.
