2.5 wireless security settings
Enabling WEP or WPA encryption can prevent unauthorized access to
your wireless network.
encryption:
Select one of the five options from the drop-down menu,
then click “OK” to proceed to the screen of the selected option.
None
— do not apply any encryption to wireless usage: everyone
has access without needing permission.
WEP
— You can select the WeP key length for encryption: 64-bit
or 128-bit. A larger WeP key length will provide a higher level of
security, but the throughput will be lower.
WPA (TKIP)
— You can use a pre-shared key to authenticate
wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. Use
TKIP to change the encryption key frequently.
WPA2 (AES)
— You can use a pre-shared key to authenticate
wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. Use
CCMP (AeS) to change the encryption key frequently.
WPA2 Mixed
— This will automatically select TKIP or AeS based
on the other communication peer.
