encryption

encryption cipher suite is set to TKIP, the unicast encryption cipher
(TKIP or AES-CCMP) is negotiated for each client. The access point
advertises it's supported encryption ciphers in beacon frames and
probe responses. WPA and WPA2 clients select the cipher they support
and return the choice in the association request to the access point. For
mixed-mode operation, the cipher used for broadcast frames is always
TKIP. WEP encryption is not allowed.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this device to
◆
prevent unauthorized access to your wireless network. For more secure
data transmissions, enable encryption with this command, and set at
least one static WEP key with the key command.
◆ The WEP settings must be the same on each client in your wireless
network.
Note that WEP protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but
◆
does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the
Internet.
You must enable data encryption in order to enable all types of
◆
encryption (WEP, TKIP, and AES-CCMP) in the access point.
