Description

Network Authentication

Open–No authentication is needed among the wireless network.

 

Shared – Only wireless stations using a shared key (WEP Key identified)

 

are allowed to connecting each other.

 

WPA – This mode is for users with an authentication server (Radius

 

Server), WPA-enabled access point, and a WPA-enabled client. Once

 

WPA is enabled, all clients and access points on the network must be

 

WPA-enabled in order to access the network.

 

WPA-PSK– It is a special mode designed for home and small business

 

users who do not have access to network authentication servers. In this

 

mode, known as Pre-Shared Key, the user manually enters the starting

 

password in their access point or gateway, as well as in each PC on the

 

wireless network. WPAtakes over automatically from that point, keeping

 

unauthorized users that don't have the matching password from joining

 

the network, while encrypting the data traveling between authorized

 

devices.

Data Encryption

WEP – In WPA or WPA-PSK mode, WEP is also able to be the encryption

 

method for the transmission data.

 

TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key

 

every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message transmitted over a

 

network.) This insures much greater security than the standard WEP

 

security.

 

Note: All devices in the network should use the same encryption method

 

to ensure the communication.

3.3Current Statistics

This option enables you to view thesignal strength and the statistical information of successful Tx and Rx baud rate. You may reset the counters by clicking “Reset”. The “SNR” indicates the rate of noise and signal in the environment, the bigger of the value,the better the signal strength.
