Portable Wireless AP/Router
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the method for secure
wireless data transmission. WEP adds data encryption to
every single packet transmitted in the wireless
network. The 40bit and 64bit encryption are the same
because of out 64 bits, 40 bits are private. Conversely, 104
and 128 bit are the same. WEP uses a common KEY to
encode the data. Therefore, all devices on a wireless
network must use the same key and same type of
encryption. There are 2 methods for entering the KEY;
one is to enter a 16-bit HEX digit. Using this method,
users must enter a 10-digit number (for 64-bit) or 26-digit
number (for 128-bit) in the KEY field. Users must select
the same key number for all devices. The other method is
to enter a text and let the computer generate the WEP key
for you. However, since each product use different method
for key generation, it might not work for different
products. Therefore, it is NOT recommended using.
WPA/WPA2
A security protocol for wireless networks that builds on the
basic foundations of WEP. It secures wireless data
transmission by using a key similar to WEP, but the added
