WLAN access points are base stations that act as bridges between a LAN
and a WLAN, managing the data communications between the two net-
works. The access point integrated in the dsl
IEEE 802.11b/g standard, making it compatible with all common wireless
network adapters. In addition, its g++ turbo mode lets the dsl
achieve a bandwidth of up to 125 Mbps within the WLAN.

1100 WLAN supports WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA (Wi-Fi
WEP stands for a protocol that encrypts the wireless signal with a 64-bit or
128-bit key to ensure secure data communication within the WLAN.
WPA is a more recent standard that uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Pro-
tocol). This protocol replaces the static WEP codes with dynamic keys. Using
longer keys and changing them more frequently increases the security of the
network.
WPA2 is the successor of WPA which supports AES (Advanced Encryption
Standard). WPA2 and WPA can be deployed jointly, provided the access
point and the client support WPA2.
