Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Configure WEP security settings. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security
protocol, which designed to provide a wireless local area network (WLAN) with a
level of security and privacy comparable to what is usually expected of a wired
LAN. WEP seeks to establish similar protection to that offered by the wired
network's physical security measures by encrypting data transmitted over the
WLAN.
802.1X Security Configure 802.1X network authentication. 802.1X provides an authentication
framework for wireless LANs, allowing a user to be authenticated by a central
authority.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) WPA provides improved over-the-air encryption of wireless data. It was designed
to improve upon the security features of WEP.
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) WPA2 provides even more improved over-the-air encryption of wireless data.
