Parameter Description
Security Mode
It specifies the security mode of which the upstream WiFi network adopted. After
you select the upstream WiFi network from the scanned wireless network list, this
parameter will be populated automatically.
The AP can support WiFi network encrypted with
None or WEP (Open or Shared),
WPA-PSK , WPA2-PSK and Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK .
−
None : No password for the wireless network and any wireless clients can
access the network. To ensure network security, this mode is not
recommended.
−
WEP : It uses a static key to encrypt all exchanged data, and ensures that a
wireless LAN has the same level of security as a wired LAN. Data encrypted
based on WEP can be easily cracked. In addition, WEP supports a maximum
wireless network throughput of only 54 Mbps. Therefore, this security mode
is not recommended.
−
WPA-PSK , WPA2-PSK , Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK : WPA pre-shared key
authentication. The key you set is only used for identity verification while
data encryption key is automatically generated by AP based on encryption
rule TKIP or AES, solving the vulnerability of WEP static key and therefore, is
proper for personal or home networks. Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK indicates that
AP is compatible with both WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK security modes.
−
If the wireless network to be bridged adopts the WEP security mode,
Authentication Type , Default Key , and Key x ( x ranges from 1 to 4) need to
be entered manually.
−
If the wireless network to be bridged adopts the WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or
Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK security mode,
Encryption Algorithm will be
populated automatically and you only need to enter the Key .
