Data Encryption
WEP is an authentication alogorithm that protects authorized WLAN users against
eavesdropping. WEP has been found to have some security problems. TKIP is a
temporary quick-fix method defined in the IEEE 802.11i standard to quickly overcome
the weaknesses in WEP security. AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of
security and authenticity for digital information and is the most advanced solution
defined by IEEE 802.11i for security in the wireless network.
The security setting must be the same on the wireless network. The adapter supports
64/128-bit WEP, TKIP, and AES encryption functions.
Default Key ID
Select one of the keys (1~4) as the encryption key.
Key Length
Select either 64 or 128-bits. Larger key lengths provide
more security but reduce throughput.
Key 1 ~ Key 4
Fill in the text box by following the rules below:
64-bit: Enter 10 Hexidecimal digits (0, 1, 2 ~ 9, a, b, c,
etc) as the encryption key. For example: 012345abcd
128-bit: Enter 26 Hexidecimal digits (0, 1, 2 ~ 9, a, b, c,
etc) as the encryption key. For example:
0123456789abcdef0123456789.
NOTE: Once you have entered the key, the digits will
dissappear and be replaced by * symbols. Make sure that
you write down the key you entered.
