Open WEP uses the key for encryption instead of
authentication.
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and
authentication, some consider shared WEP to be
less secure than open WEP.
In
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and WPA/WPA2-PSK
authentication modes, you can select one of the
following three encryption modes:
䡲 TKIP: TKIP (Temporal Integrity Protocol), an
integrity check which changes key automatically,
is mandatory in WPA (Temporal Integrity Protocol)
and optional in WPA2.
䡲 AES: AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), an
encryption algorithm which is supposedly be
more secure, is mandatory in WPA2 and optional
in WPA. You can use AES for higher security than
TKIP only if all your devices support it.
䡲 TKIP+AES: Mixed TKIP and AES provides a
fallback in case AES is not supported by a device
in that it switches to the more common TKIP. It is
more backwards compatible if necessary.
10. Select Show Password to show the current
password. (By default, the password display is
encrypted.)
䡲 You may change the password/network key at
this time. Enter a new password and click
Apply to
save it.
䡲 In WEP mode, you can set more network keys,
and select the current one.
11 . In the Max Number of Users drop-down list box,
select the number limit of Wi-Fi users that can
connect to the device. A smaller number improves
performance and security.
12. Select Apply to save the configuration, or select
Cancel to cancel the configuration.
