Wireless Security

This screen is accessed by clicking the "Configure" button on the Wireless screen. There are 3 options for Wireless security:

•Disabled - no data encryption is used.

•WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard.

•WPA-PSK- data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later stan- dard than WEP, and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.

•WPA2-PSK- This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater security, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.

•WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK- This method, sometimes called "Mixed Mode", allows clients to use EITHER WPA-PSK (with TKIP) OR WPA2-PSK (with AES).

WEP Data Encryption

Select the desired option, and ensure the Wireless Stations use the same setting.

•64 Bit - data is encrypted, using the default key, before being transmitted. You must enter at least the default key. For 64 Bit Encryption, the key size is 10 chars in HEX (0~9 and A~F).

•128 Bit - data is encrypted, using the default key, before being transmitted. You must enter at least the default key.
