Encryption Key:
Please refer to Key Length to set this parameter.
2) WPA/WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most dominating security mechanism in industry.
It is separated into two categories: WPA-personal and WPA-Enterprise, it is the current
most secure method of wireless security and required for 802.11n performance.
TKIP
--Temporal Key Integrity Protocol is one cipher for data encryption supported by WPA.
AES--
Advanced Encryption Standard is another cipher for data encryption supported by
WPA.
Pre-Shared Key Format/Pre-Shared Key:
This is a pre-defined key used for encryption
during data transmission. It has two formats: Passphrase and Hex (64 characters). Then
you need to enter the Pre-Shared Key, either 8~63 ASCII characters, such as 012345678
(or 64 Hexadecimal digits leading by 0x, such as “0x321253abcde…”).
3) WPA Mixed
This option mixes WPA/WPA2 together. It will provide the best security for your router.
4.6.3 Multiple SSID
You can set ano
ther SSID for different needs. What’s more, you can setup different
encryption in Security Settings section.
Note:
Since WEP has been proved vulnerable, you may consider using WPA2 for the most secure
connection. You should select the appropriate security mechanism according to your needs. No
matter which security suite you select, they all will enhance the over-the-air data protection and/or
privacy on your wireless network.
