protection and access control for wireless LANs. It keeps unwanted users from accessing a network
without the proper permission and password.
- Added high-level security: IPSec, PPTP or L2TP Virtual Private Network (VPN) pass-through
provides secure transmissions via wireless VPN tunnels.
- Basic security: 64, 128 and 152-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides industry-standard
data encryption. Each network has a unique passphrase that is entered manually to activate WEP.
It’s dynamic, as well - the key will be changed periodically to prevent intruders from getting onto
the network.
