The authentication in this tab provides the different protection levels, such as open, shared encryption key, LEAP, WPA, WPA, WPA-PSK,WPA2， WPA2-PSK.
- Page 13 Protocol (TKIP) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) FORBID – forbid the encryption function. WEP -- the shared key performs the encryption before data wireless transportation, you could communicate with the wireless devices which use the same shared key. TKIP --TKIP uses the stricter encryption rules than the WEP, and also use the existing WLAN arithmetic to realize the encryption.
