Encryption
There are 4 types of security to be selected. To secure your WLAN, it’s strongly
recommended to enable this feature.
 WEP: Make sure that all wireless devices on your network are using the
same encryption level and key. Click Set WEP Key button to set the
encryption key.
 WPA (TKIP): WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for data
encryption. TKIP utilized a stronger encryption method and incorporates
Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers.
 WPA2 (AES): WPA2, also known as 802.11i, uses Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption. AES utilized a symmetric
128-bit block data encryption.
 WAP2 Mixed: The AP supports WPA (TKIP) and WPA2 (AES) for data
encryption. The actual selection of the encryption methods will depend on
the clients.
Use 802.1x Authentication
Check it to enable 802.1x authentication. This option is selectable only when the
“Encryption” is choose to either None or WEP. If the “Encryption” is WEP, you
need to further select the WEP key length to be either WEP 64bits or WEP
128bits.
