Encryption: Select TKIP or AES from the drop-down list if your wireless ne twork

to work with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP. W PA
provides improved data encryption through the Temporal Integrity Protocol (TKIP),
which scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and by adding an integrity
checking feature which makes sure that keys haven’t been tampered with.
