3.5.2 Security
This section allows you to secure your wireless network. Here we introduce 4 security modes to you.
WEP
WEP is intended to provide data confidentiality comparable to that of a traditional wired network. Two
types of encryption can be used with WEP: Open and Shared Key.
1. Encryption Type: Select Open or Shared from the drop-down list.
2. WEP Key: Select Hex or ASCII from the drop-down list. Enter 5 or 13 valid ASCII characters
(0-9,a-z,A-Z,@,*,-,_ can be included) if you select ASCII or enter 10 or 26 valid Hex characters
(0-9,a-f,A-F can be included) if you select Hex.
WPA-PSK
The WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) protocol implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard. It
enhances data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) which is a 128-bit
per-packet key, meaning that it dynamically generates a new key for each packet. WPA also includes a
message integrity check feature to prevent data packets from being tampered with. Only authorized
network users can access the wireless network. WPA adopts enhanced encryption algorithm over WEP.
