HP LaserJet Pro CP1020 - User Guide
To prevent other users from accessing your network, turn on WPA or WEP data encryption.
●
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP): WEP is the original native security mechanism in the 802.11 standard.
You create a unique key containing hexadecimal or alphanumeric characters, which other users must
provide before they can access your network.
●
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA): WPA uses the temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP) for encryption and
employs 802.1X authentication. It addresses all known weaknesses of WEP. You create a unique
passphrase containing a combination of letters and numbers, which other users must provide before
they can access your network.
●
WPA2 provides the advanced encryption standard (AES), and is an improvement over WPA.
