Config - Encryption Tab
Lets you configure the ASUS SpaceLink encryption settings. We support three
security options:
WEP Enabled
Default Key
The Default Key field lets you specify which of the encryption key (Unique,
First, Second, Third, or Fourth) you use to transmit data on your wireless LAN.
You can change the default key by clicking on the down arrow at the right of
this field, selecting the number of the key you want to use and then clicking the
Apply button. As long as the Access Point or station with which you are
communicating has the same key in the same position, you can use any of the
keys as the default.
AES Encryption
If you specify both AES and WEP keys, the STA and AP will automatically
negotiate the encryption type. Because AES is a stronger encryption than WEP,
it is used wherever possible. If the STA or AP does not support AES, WEP is
used.
Please note that you will only be able to communicate with wireless devices
that have use the same encryption settings.
NOTE: AES is not supported in Ad Hoc mode, since Ad Hoc mode
does not support unique key.
