WPA/WPA2: WPA stands for WiFi-Protected Access. WPA provides two security

modes for Home/SOHO user and enterprise network. The former

solution adopts Pre-Shared Key for authentication, and the latter uses the

existing 802.1X RADIUS server in the enterprise network to process the

authentication requests.

WPA - PSK/WPA2-PSK:

WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) is the solution for home and SOHO users

who have no 802.11X authentication server within the LAN. To set

up WPA-PSK, you need to key in a passphrase and let the system

generate the key. Combination of letters, numbers and non-alphanumeric

characters is recommended for ensuring security.

Encryption

Encryption is used to convert plain text data into unreadable codes with certain type

of algorithm before capsulation for wireless transmission. WL-AM604g supports the

following encryption methods:

WEP:

WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It uses 64 or 128-bit static

keys. Key in a passphrase to let the system generate the WEP keys.

TKIP:

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) dynamically generates unique

keys to encrypt every data packet in a wireless session.

AES:

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a dependable encryption

adopted in WPA2 or IEEE802.11i standard. It offers stronger protection

and greatly increases the complexity of wireless encryption.

TKIP + AES: For a network where WPA clients (using TKIP encryption) and WPA2

clients (using AES encryption) co-exist. Select this option to enable both.
