If all components of your wireless network provide this encryption method there is no
need to change any settings on this page. If not, or if you want to change the preset key
(e. g. if unauthorised persons have access to your device), you can configure the
encryption for your wireless network on this page.
The following security mechanisms are available:
u
WPA-PSK
/WPA2-PSK (WiFi-Protected Access)
u
WEP
encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WPA-PSK (WPA with pre-shared key) offers greater security than WEP. You should there-
fore select WPA-PSK encryption if it is supported by all components in your wireless net-
work. WPA-PSK is an efficient method for protecting wireless networks. Dynamic keys,
based on the
AES
(WPA2-PSK) or
TKIP
(WPA-PSK), offer increased security.
