Table 2. Data Encryption Settings
Data Encryption Type Description
None No encryption is used.
Open WEP Can be used with WEP encryption or no encryption.
64 bits WEP Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64 bit encryption.
128 bits WEP Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128 bit encryption.
152 bits WEP Proprietary mode that will only work with other wireless devices that support
this mode.
TKIP This is the standard encryption method used with WPA and WPA2.
AES This is the standard encryption method for WPA2.
TKIP + AES This setting supports both WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets use TKIP.
For unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2
clients use AES.
Passphrases and Keys are used in the following ways:
- Passphrase
. To use the passphrase to generate the WEP keys, enter a
passphrase and click the
Generate Keys
button. You can also enter the keys
directly. These keys must match the other wireless stations.
- Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, Key 4
. If you are using WEP, select the key to be used as
the default key. Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key.
The other keys be used only to decrypt received data.
- WPA Preshared Key Passphrase
. If you are using WPA-PSK, enter the
passphrase here. All wireless stations must use the same passphrase (network
key). The network key must be from 8 to 64 characters in length.
WPA2-PSK
(WPA2 is a later version of WPA ) Select this only if all clients support WPA2. If selected, you must use
AES and TKIP + AES encryption and enter the WPA passphrase
(Network key).
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with TKIP) or WPA2
(with AES). If selected, you must use TKIP + AES encryption and
enter the WPA passphrase (network key).
a All options are available if you are using Access Point mode. In other modes (for example, Repeater
or Bridge) some options might be unavailable.
