Encryption

Encryption is used to convert plain text data into unreadable codes with certain type of algorithm before capsulation for wireless transmission. WiFi-AP Solo supports the following encryption methods:

WEP: WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It uses 64 or 128-bit

static keys. You can let the system generate the WEP keys by inputting a Passphrase.

TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) dynamically generates unique keys to encypt every data packet in a wireless session.

AES: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a dependable encryption adopted in WPA2 or IEEE802.11i standard. It offers stronger protection and greatly increases the complexity of wireless encryption.

TKIP + AES: For a network where WPA clients (using TKIP encryption) and WPA2 clients (using AES encryption) co-exit. Select this option to enable both.
