802.11g (Security)

Buffalo recommends that you choose the strongest form of encryption that’s supported by all your client devices.

• WEP is a lot better than nothing, and almost every wireless device ever made supports it.

• TKIP is slower than WEP but much more secure.

• AES is the most secure of all, and the quickest as well. Use it if you can.

Setting the key renewal period too short can decrease network performance.

By default, the AirStation broadcasts its SSID. This makes it easier to have a client connect to the AirStation. To disable broadcasting, uncheck this box.

Privacy Seperator prevents wireless clients from being able to browse each other’s computers. Check Enable to turn it on.
