Passphrases and Keys are used in the following ways:
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 you are using WEP, select the key to be used as
-
the default key. Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key.
The other keys be used only to decrypt received data.
WPA Preshared Key Passphrase. If you are using WPA-PSK, enter the
-
passphrase here. All wireless stations must use the same passphrase (network
key). The network key must be from 8 to 64 characters in length.
Description
Select this only if all clients support WPA2. If selected, you must use
AES and TKIP + 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).
1); otherwise, the default is None. The Data Encryption settings
Table
Description
No encryption is used.
Can be used with WEP encryption or no encryption.
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 and WPA2.
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.
