[WEP]
WEP aims to provide security by encryption data over radio waves so that it is protected as it
is transmitted from one end point to another. However, it has been found that WEP is not as
secure as once believed.
Select Authentication Mode as Open, Shared, or WEP Auto; and then Specify Encryption
Type as "WEP" can prompt the setting page.
Default Key ID: Specify which key is used for encryption
Key 1 to Key 4: Enter the key value depending on selected ASCII or Hexadecimal.
[WPA/WPA2]
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a class of systems to secure wireless (Wi-Fi)
computer networks. WPA is designed to work with all wireless network interface cards, but
not necessarily with first generation wireless access points. WPA2 implements the full
standard, but will not work with some older network cards. Both provide good security, with
two significant issues:
Either WPA or WPA2 must be enabled and chosen in preference to WEP.
WEP is usually presented as the first security choice in most installation
instructions.
In the "Personal" mode, the most likely choice for homes and small offices, a
pass phrase is required that, for full security, must be longer than typical 6 to 8
character passwords users are taught to employ.
