WEP settings.
WPA-PSK/
WPA2-PSK
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK is specially designed for the users
who do not have access to network authentication servers.
The user has to manually enter the starting password in their
access point or gateway, as well as in each computer on the
wireless network.
Tip:
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the
temporal key every 10,000 packets to insure much greater
security than the standard WEP security. AES (Advanced
Encryption Standard) is used to ensure the highest degree of
security and authenticity for digital information.
