read the following). WEP WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): WEP is a security algorithm for IEEE 802.11 wireless networks. Introduced as part of the original 802.11 standard, its intention was to provide data confidentiality comparable to that of a traditional wired network. Wireless speed can reach up to 54Mbps if WEP is used. Open, Shared and 802.1x are the same in encryption progression yet different in authentication mode. Open: Uses "no authentication" + WEP Encryption.
the network until the supplicant’s identity has been validated and authorized. If authentication is successful, the authenticator sets the port to the "authorized" state and normal traffic is allowed, if it is unsuccessful the port remains in the "unauthorized" state and blocks traffic. Default Key: Specify a WEP key from the preset keys for current use. For example, if you select Key 2, wireless clients must join your wireless network using this Key 2. WEP-802.
128-bit per-packet key, meaning that it dynamically generates a new key for each packet. WPA also includes a message integrity check feature to prevent data packets from being tampered with. Only authorized network users can access the wireless network. WPA adopts enhanced encryption algorithm over WEP. WPA2: WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP. It is more secure than WPA and WEP. Security Mode: Supports WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and WPA/WPA2-PSK Mixed.
