Mobile Wireless Modem
two security protocols and security certification programs developed to
secure wireless computer networks. It is strongly suggested that you
use AES under WPA-personal to encrypt your wireless network to block
unauthorized and undesired share of Internet connection. The following
introduces two commonest encryption methods (Wireless network
adapters need the required security key to connect to your device, once
you encrypt it. For configuration methods, go to Appendix 2).
WPA-PSK
The WPA 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
hampered with. Only authorized network users can access the wireless
network.
Cipher Type: Select either AES (advanced encryption standard) or TKIP
(temporary key integrity protocol) type.
Security Key: Enter a security key，which must be between 8-63 ASCII
characters.
WPA2-PSK: The later WPA2 protocol features compliance with the full
IEEE 802.11i standard and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in
addition to TKIP encryption protocol to guarantee better security than
that provided by WEP or WPA.
