Encryption

If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels, you should enable Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and/or WiFi Protected Axccesss (WPA) encryption. Encryption requires you to use the same set of encryption/decryption keys for the Wireless Base Station and all of your wireless clients.You can choose between standard 64-bit or the more robust 128-bit encryption.

You may automatically generate encryption keys or manually enter the keys. For automatic 64-bit security, enter a passphrase and click Generate. Four keys will be generated (as shown below). Choose a key from the drop- down list or accept the default key. Automatic 128-bit security generates a single key.

If you use encryption, configure the same keys used for the Wireless Base Station on each of your wireless clients. Note that the encryption protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the Internet.
