WLAN Profile WEP Settings

WEP is a simple and efficient security mode encrypting the data via the RC4 algorithm. However, WEP has become more vulnerable due to advances in hacking technology. State of the art equipment can find WEP keys in five minutes. For stronger security, please use WPA, or better, WPA2 with AES (CCMP). WEP is only supported on the STA interface.

WLAN Profile WPA and WPA2 Settings

WPA is a security standard specified by the WiFi Alliance and is a close derivative of an early draft of the IEEE802.11i specification. WEP was becoming vulnerable when finalizing the IEEE802.11i standard was still far away. WPA2 is WiFi’s subset of the broad IEEE802.11i standard to enforce better interoperability. The xPico Wi-Fi embedded device server is compliant with both WPA2 and IEEE802.11i.
