Table 2-1. Network Authentication Types

Typea	Description
WPA2-PSKWPA2 is a later	Only select this if all clients support WPA2. If selected, you must use
version of WPA.	AES encryption and enter the WPA passphrase (Network key).
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK	This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with TKIP) or WPA2
	(with AES). If selected, you must use TKIP + AES encryption and
	enter the WPA passphrase (Network key).

a. All options are available if using the default Access Point mode. In other modes (for example, Repeater or Bridge) some options may be unavailable.

•Data Encryption. The available options depend on the Network Authentication setting selected (see Table 2-1above); otherwise, the default is None. The Data Encryption settings are explained in the table below:

Table 2-2. Data Encryption Settings

Data Encryption Type	Description
None	No encryption is used.
64 bits WEP	Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64 bit encryption.
128 bits WEP	Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128 bit encryption.
152 bits WEP	Proprietary mode that will only work with other wireless devices that support
	this mode.
TKIP	This is the standard encryption method used with WPA.
AES	This is the standard encryption method for WPA2.
TKIP + AES	This setting supports both WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets use TKIP. For
	unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2
	clients use AES.

•Use of Passphrases and Keys are explained below:

–Passphrase. To use the Passphrase to generate the WEP keys, enter a passphrase and click the Generate Keys button. You can also enter the keys directly. These keys must match the other wireless stations.

–Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, Key 4. If using WEP, select the key to be used as the default key. Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key. The other keys can only be used to decrypt received data.
