Click WLAN Security.
Click the drop-down arrow at Security Mode to choose from the following settings:
Disabled (No Encryption)
All data sent between the access point and the client is left unencrypted and may be viewed by
other wireless devices.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
Encrypts all traffic sent between the access point and the client using a shared key. When using
WEP encryption, only access points and PCs using the same WEP Key can communicate with
each other
WPA/WPA2
WPA encrypts all traffic between the access point and the client using either TKIP or AES
encryption. Depending on the authentication protocol selected, each client must authenticate
using their own unique username, password, and security certificate.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is a compromise between WPA/WPA2 and WEP. Like WEP, it uses a
pre-shared key that every user of the network must have in order to send and receive data. Like
WPA, it uses either TKIP or AES.
