Encryption
The encrytion modes supported by RT-N11 are: WEP-64bits, WEP-128bits, WPA-
Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA-Auto-Personal(TKIP. AES. TKIP+AES), WPA-
enterprise, WPA2-enterprise, WPA-Auto-Enterprise (TKIP. AES. TKIP+AES),
Radius with 802.1x
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, it uses 64bits or 128bits static keys
to encrypt the data for wireless transmission. To setup WEP keys, set WEP
Encryption to WEP-64bits or WEP-128bits, then manually type in four sets WEP
Keys (10 hexadicimal digits for 64-bits key or 26 hexadicimal digits for 128-bits
key). You can also let the system generate the keys by entering a Passphrase.
TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP dynamically generates
unique keys to encrypt every data packet in a wireless session.
AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard. This solution offers stronger
protection and increases the complexity of wireless encryption.
TKIP+AES is used when both WPA and WPA2 clients co-exist in the wireless
network.
WPA-Personal protects unauthorized network access by utilizing a set-up
password.
