Property Name Description
algorithm to encrypt data.
WPA2-Enterprise WPA2-Enterprise includes
all features of WPA-Enterprise, but it uses AES
encryption to enhance security.
WEP
ON
Turn on WEP encryption.
OFF
Turn off WEP encryption.
WEP Key Index The default key of WEP. You can set four keys
and choose one of them as the default.
WEP Input Type The type of your WEP key.
ASCII
If your key is generated in ASCII,
select
this. ASCII includes the English alphabet,
numbers and punctuation symbols.
HEX
If your key is generated in hexadecimal
(HEX), select this. HEX includes the numbers 0
to 9 and the letters A to F.
WEP Key 1-4 You can store four WEP keys.
WPA Encryption It shows encryption methods depending on
your network authentication.
AUTO
It allows the access point to use
either TKIP or AES encryption.
TKIP
It is available for WPA-Personal and
WPA-Enterprise. TKIP stands for Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol. It is part of 802.11i
standard of Wireless LAN. It enhances the
security of WEP. TKIP uses 128-bit encryption.
It dynamically changes keys for each packet
using a rekeying mechanism, providing a
strong protection against attackers.
AES
It is available for WPA2-Personal and
WPA2-Enterprise. AES stands for Advanced
Encryption Standard. It uses a serial of
mathematical operations that repeatedly
rearrange data to encrypt it.
Note
802.11n can only use AES encryption.
WPA Pre-Shared Key It is a key shared between two parties that
use a secure channel for communication.
Anyone who knows the key can access the
