device is preloaded with firmware according to the regulations. If your device’s firmware is
not conforming to your country’s latest regulation, please write to [e-mail].

802.11a radio mode, the date rate supports from 1Mbps to 54Mbps. To 802.11n, the data

4.2.1.6 Security Setting
Operation Mode -> Setup -> Security Settings
Security settings allow you to use encryption to secure your data from eavesdropping. You
can select different security policy to provide association authentication and/or data
encryption. The AirMax5X features various security policies including WEP, 802.1x,
WPA-RADIUS, WPA-PSK, WPA2-RADIUS, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK. Please note not
all security policies are available in all operation modes. All wireless devices on the same
network must use the same security policy. We recommend using WPA-PSK or
WPA2-PSK whenever possible. For WDS Bridge, we recommend using AES encryption.
WEP
WEP Encryption is the oldest and most available encryption method. However, it is also the
least secure.
