Wireless Security; What Is Wep; What Is Wps - D-Link DAP-1650 User Manual

Section 4 - Security
This section will explain the different types of security you can use to protect your wireless network from intruders. Please note
that some security methods may not be available for all operation modes. The DAP-1650 offers the following types of security:
• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
• Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2)
- WPA - Personal
- WPA - Enterprise
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is an older form of wireless encryption which operates only in 802.11g legacy mode. WEP uses
hex digits to create an authentication key, and is considered to be less secure than the newer WPA/WPA2 security standards.
It is recommended that you only use this security mode if your wireless clients do not support WPA/WPA2.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to quickly and easily create a secure wireless connection between devices using a
push-button or a PIN code. This method alleviates the need for users to change settings on their wireless devices, or remember
security passwords. Many wireless devices have a physical push-button located somewhere on the exterior casing, while
others may have a software button located within the device's configuration software. Please refer to your wireless device's
documentation for further information on how to connect to the DAP-1650 using WPS.
