WPA-PSK – It is a special mode designed for home and small business users
who do not have access to network authentication servers. In this mode,
known as Pre-Shared Key, the user manually enters the starting password in
their access point or gateway, as well as in each wireless station in the
network. WPA-PSK takes over automatically from that point, keeping
unauthorized users that don't have the matching password from joining the
network, while encrypting the data traveling between authorized devices.
WPA2 – Like WPA, WPA2 supports IEEE 802.1x/EAP authentications or PSK
technology. It also includes a new advanced encryption mechanism using the
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is required to the corporate user
or government users. The difference between WPA and WPA2 is that WPA2
provides data encryption via the AES. In contrast, WPA uses Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol (TKIP).
WPA2-PSK – WPA2-PSK is also for home and small business. The difference
between WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK is that WPA2-PSK provides data
encryption via the AES. In contrast, WPA-PSK uses Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP).
Use 802.1x
Enable 802.1x wireless authentication. Please click ‘802.1x Setting’ button to
set 802.1x parameters. (See next section).
Encryption Mode None – Disable the encryption mode.
WEP – Enable the WEP Data Encryption. When the item is selected, you
have to continue setting the WEP Encryption keys.
TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key
every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message transmitted over a
network.) This insures much greater security than the standard WEP security.
AES – AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of security and
authenticity for digital information and it is the most advanced solution defined
by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the wireless network.
Note: All devices in the network should use the same encryption method to
ensure the communication.
WPA Pre-Shared Key The WPA-PSK key can be from 8 to 64 characters and can be letters or
numbers. This same key must be used on all of the wireless stations in the
network.
WEP Key
(Key1 ~ Key4)
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network.
There are two types of key length: 64-bit and 128-bit. Select the default
