TKIP + AES
• Use of Passphrases and Keys are explained below:
– Passphrase. To use the Passphrase to generate the WEP keys, enter a passphrase and click
the Generate Keys button. You can also enter the keys directly. These keys must match the
other wireless stations.
– Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, Key 4. If using WEP, select the key to be used as the default key.
Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key. The other keys can only be
used to decrypt received data.
Basic Installation and Configuration
Description
Only select this if all clients support WPA2. If selected, you must use
AES encryption and enter the WPA passphrase (Network key).
This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with TKIP) or WPA2
(with AES). If selected, you must use TKIP + AES encryption and
enter the WPA passphrase (Network key).
above); otherwise, the default is None. The Data Encryption settings
Description
No encryption is used.
Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64 bit encryption.
Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128 bit encryption.
Proprietary mode that will only work with other wireless devices that support
this mode.
This is the standard encryption method used with WPA.
This is the standard encryption method for WPA2.
This setting supports both WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets use TKIP. For
unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2
clients use AES.
