Security
Mode
: Select
WPA
or
WPA2
from the drop-down list if your
wireless network uses WPA. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was designed
to improve upon the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).
The technology is designed to work with existing Wi-Fi products that have
been enabled with WEP. WPA provides improved data encryption through
the Temporal Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which scrambles the keys using a
hashing algorithm and by adding an integrity checking feature which
makes sure that keys haven’t been tampered with.
Encryption

TKIP
or
AES
from the drop-down list if your wireless
network uses this encryption.
