Encryption The encryption method to be applied.

You can choose from WEP, WPA pre-shared key or WPA RADIUS.

• Disabled - no data encryption is used.

• WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard.

• WPA-PSK - data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard than WEP,

and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK,

you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.

• WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater security,

using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.

• WPA-RADIUS - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the

client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using

the WPA standard.

If this option is selected:

• This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.

• Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.

• Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when required.

• All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically

generated, so no key input is required.

IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this Access Point before accessing the

wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not

encrypt the data during communication.
