Encryption

The same encryption method must be used. The most

 

common encryption method is TKIP. Another widely-

 

supported method is AES.

 

 

Wireless LAN Configuration

To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings, as follows:

 

Mode

On client Wireless Stations, the mode must be set to "Infrastruc-

 

 

 

ture".

 

 

 

(The Access Point is always in "Infrastructure" mode.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

SSID (ESSID)

Wireless Stations should use the same SSID (ESSID) as the

 

 

 

Access Point they wish to connect to. Alternatively, the SSID

 

 

 

can be set to "any" or null (blank) to allow connection to any

 

 

 

Access Point.

 

 

Wireless

The Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same

 

 

Security

settings for Wireless security. (None, WEP, WPA-PSK).

 

 

 

WEP: If WEP is used, the Key size (64Bit, 128Bit), Key value,

 

 

 

and Authentication settings must be the same on the Wireless

 

 

 

Stations and the Access Point.

 

 

 

WPA-PSK:If WPA-PSK is used, all Wireless Stations must be

 

 

 

set to use WPA-PSK, and have the same Pre-shared Key and

 

 

 

encryption system.

 

 

 

For Ad-hoc networks (no Access Point), all Wireless stations

 

 

 

must use the same security settings.
