4.5.2. Security
Figure 4-14
The item allows you to encrypt your wireless communication, and you can also protect your
wireless network from unauthorized user access
“Security Mode” supplies “None”, ”WEP” ,”WPA SOHO USER” ,”WPA2 SOHO USER”
and ”WPA&WPA2 SOHO USER” five different encryption modes.
¾ ”None” means do not encrypt wireless data
¾ WEP
There are two basic levels of WEP encryption, 64 bits and 128 bits, the more bits password have,
the better security wireless network is, at the same time the speed of wireless is more slower. If
you select WEP to encrypt your data, choose the bits of password, it should be 64 bits or 128
bits. Then choose the format of password; it should be HEX or ASCII. The valid character for
HEX format should be numbers from 0 to 9 or letters from A to F. HEX doesn’t support mixed
letter and number mode. And ASCII supports mixed both letters and numbers. By default,
router provides four fields to input four groups of password, you can input all of them or only
one of them, and the client‘s password only need to match one group of password
¾ WPA SOHO USER
You can select the algorithm you want to use, TKIP or AES. TKIP means “Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol”, which incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection
against hackers. AES, means “Advanced Encryption System”, which utilizes a symmetric
128-Bit block data
¾ WPA2 SOHO USER
The WPA2 SOHO USER is similar to WPA SOHO USER and with stronger encryption method
than WPA SOHO USER , using WPA2 SOHO USER; you should input password (leave this
value in the range of 8 to 63 characters) and key renewal time (leave this value in the range of
60 to 86400 seconds).
¾ WPA&WPA2 SOHO USER
This item mixed WPA SOHO USER and WPA2 SOHO USER mode, which provides higher
security level; you can configure it according with WPA SOHO USER or WPA2 SOHO USER
