802.1x
As the IEEE standard for access control for wireless and wired LANs, 802.1x provides a means of
authenticating and authorizing devices to attach to a LAN port. This standard defines the Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP), which uses a central authentication server to authenticate each user on
the network.

AES(Advanced Encryption Standard)
Security issues are a major concern for wireless LANs. AES is the U.S. government's next-generation
cryptography algorithm, which will replace DES and 3DES.

TKIP
The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, pronounced tee-kip, is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption
standard for wireless LANs. TKIP is the next generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol,
which is used to secure 802.11 wireless LANs. TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message
integrity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP.
Wireless— Security Page(Set WEP key)
This page allows you setup the WEP key value. You could choose use 64-bit or 128-bit as the encryption
key, and select ASCII or Hex as the format of input value.
l
Key Length
You may select the 64-bit or 128-bit to encrypt transmitted data. Larger key length will provide higher
level of security, but the throughput will be lower.
