Setting up Profile Security
NOTE:
(1) Before starting, you must obtain a user name and password on the RADIUS server from your system administrator. (2) For
personal/home networks use Wi-Fi Protected Access Personal (WPA/WPA2 Personal) mode. WPA-2 Enterprise requires an
authentication server.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access control to a wireless
network. WPA enforces 802.1x authentication and key-exchange and only works with dynamic encryption keys. To strengthen data encryption, WPA
utilizes Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP provides important data encryption enhancements that include a per-packet key mixing
function, a message integrity check (MIC) named Michael an extended initialization vector (IV) with sequencing rules, and a also re-keying
mechanism. Using these improvement enhancements, TKIP protects against WEP's known weaknesses.

Data Encryption
WEP: WEP data encryption can be configured using 64-bit or 128-bit. WEP settings can be used with all
Network Authentication protocols.
When WEP encryption is enabled on an access point, the WEP key provides a way to verify access to
the network. If the wireless device does not have the correct WEP key, even though authentication is
successful, the device is unable to transmit data through the access point or decrypt data received from
the access point.
CKIP: Cisco Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP) is a Cisco proprietary security protocol for encryption in 802.11
media. Refer to
Security Overview for more information. Note: CKIP is enabled only when the checkbox
