Encryption turned off.
WEP:
Turns on WEP encryption. When this option is selected, you also must
specify a WEP key format and a WEP key.
z
The letters “WEP” stand for “Wired Equivalent Privacy”. It is a security
protocol that uses a character string to encrypt data and protect against
unauthorized access to wireless communications.
WPA-PSK:
Turns on WPA-PSK encryption. When this option is selected, you also must
specify a WPA/WPA2 encoding and a WPA/WPA2 pass phrase.
z
The letters “WPA” stand for “Wi-Fi Protected Access”. Like WEP, it is a
security protocol that encrypts communication data. WPA uses an
automatically generated encryption key that is changed at preset
intervals, which provides stronger security than WEP.
WPA2-PSK:
Turns on WPA2-PSK encryption. When this option is selected, you also
must specify a WPA/WPA2 encoding and a WPA/WPA2 pass phrase.
z
WPA2 is a new standard of WPA.
Note
You cannot select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK when “Ad Hoc” is selected
for the “Access Mode” setting.
WEP Key
Format
You only need to configure this setting when “WEP” is selected for “Security
Setup”.
You can specify any one of the following formats for input of the WEP key.
ASCII/64bit, ASCII/128bit, HEX/64bit, HEX/128bit
*
For more information about inputting the WEP key using the format specified
here, see the “WEP Key / WPA/WPA2 Pass Phrase” item below.
