9.2.2 Security
To improve the security and privacy of your wireless data packets, the
WEP and WPA encryption feature can be deployed, where WEP stands
for Wireless Equivalent Privacy. The WEP facility that uses a set of four
default keys encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio using only
one of the given keys. Default keys are shared between the Vigor wireless
router and WEP station in a service set. Once a station has obtained the
default keys for its service set, it may communicate using WEP. WPA
(Wi-Fi Protected Access) uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
for encryption. It greatly enhances the over-the-air data protection and
access control on existing Wi-Fi networks. It addresses the weaknesses of
WEP. By clicking the Security Settings, a new web page will appear so
that you could configure the settings of WEP and WPA.
