Parameter | Description |

|
Encryption Mode | None – Disable the encryption mode. |
| WEP – Enable the WEP Data Encryption. When the item is |
| selected, you have to continue setting the WEP Encryption keys. |
| TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the |
| temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message |
| transmitted over a network.) This insures much greater security |
| than the standard WEP security. |
| AES – AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of |
| security and authenticity for digital information and it is the most |
| advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the |
| wireless network. |
| Note: All devices in the network should use the same encryption |
| method to ensure the communication. |
WPA | The |
| letters or numbers. This same key must be used on all of the |
| wireless stations in the network. |
WEP Key | The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the |
(Key1 ~ Key4) | wireless network. There are two types of key length: |
