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 W EP
Encryption to WEP-64bits or 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-Personal protects unauthorized network access by utilizing a set-up
password.
WPA-enterprise veries network users through a server.
