4.5.2 Wireless Security

The item allows you to encrypt your wireless communication, and you
can also protect your wireless network from unauthorized user access. It
supplies "None", "WEP", "WPA-PSK", "WPA2-PSK" and "WPA/WPA2-PSK"
five different encryption modes.
4.5.2.1 None
"None" means do not encrypt wireless data.
4.5.2.2 WEP
- Key Length: There are two basic levels of WEP encryption, 64 bits and 128
bits, the more bits password have, the better security wireless network is, at
the same time the speed of wireless is slower.
- Key Mode: If you select WEP to encrypt your data, choose the bits of
password, it should be 64 bits or 128 bits. Then choose the password
format; it should be HEX or ASCII. The valid character for HEX format should
be numbers from 0 to 9 and letters from A to F. HEX support mixed letters
and numbers. And ASCII supports all keyboard characters.
- Key Length description: When you select 64bits, you need to input 10 chars
for HEX and 5 chars for ASCII, and when you select 128bits, you need to
input 26 chars for HEX and 13 chars for ASCII.
Note: When the WPS is enabled, do not use WEP.
4.5.2.3 WPA-PSK
- Encryption type: You can select the algorithm you want to use, TKIP,
AES or TKIP&AES. TKIP means "Temporal Key Integrity Protocol", which
incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against
hackers. AES, means "Advanced Encryption System", which utilizes a
symmetric 128-Bit block data.
