Description
Select the SSID Type.
There are 4 types of security to be selected. To secure your WLAN, it's
strongly recommended to enable this feature.
WEP: Make sure that all wireless devices on your network are using the
same encryption level and key.
WPA/WPA2 (TKIP): WPA/WPA2 uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP) for data encryption. TKIP utilizes a stronger encryption method
and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection
against hackers.
WPA/WPA2 (AES): WPA/WPA2, also known as
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption. AES utilizes
a symmetric 128-bit block data encryption.
WPA2 Mixed: The AP supports WPA (TKIP) and WPA2 (AES) for data
encryption. The actual selection of the encryption methods will depend
on the clients.
Check it to enable 802.1x authentications. This option is selected only
when the "Encryption" is chosen to either None or WEP. If the
"Encryption" is WEP, you need to further select the WEP key length to
be either WEP 64 character or WEP 128 character.
