WL-520GU/GC Broad Range Wireless Family Router User Manual
Encryption
The encrytion modes supported by WL-520GU/GC are: WEP-64bits, WEP-128bits, WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA-Auto-Personal(TKIP. AES. TKIP+AES), WPA-enterprise, WPA2-enterprise, WPA-Auto-Enterprise (TKIP. AES. TKIP+AES), Radius with 802.1x
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, it uses 64bits or 128bits static keys to encrypt the data for wireless transmission. To setup WEP keys, set WEP Encryption to WEP-64bitsor WEP-128bits, then manually type in four sets WEP Keys (10 hexadicimal digits for 64-bits key or 26 hexadicimal digits for 128-bits key). You can also let the system generate the keys by entering a Passphrase.
TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP dynamically generates unique keys to encrypt every data packet in a wireless session.
AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard. This solution offers stronger protection and increases the complexity of wireless encryption.
TKIP+AES is used when both WPA and WPA2 clients co-exist in the wireless network.
WPA-Personalprotects unauthorized network access by utilizing a set-up password.
WPA-enterpriseverifies network users through a server.
