802.11products, will still be much stronger than ever before. Utilizing the Pre-Shared Key mode of WPA, the DWL-G132 will obtain a new security key every time it connects to the 802.11 network. You only need to input your encryption information once in the configuration menu. No longer will you have to manually input a new WEP key frequently to ensure security. With the DWL-G132, you will automatically receive a new key every time you connect, vastly increasing the safety of your communication.
