•
Turn off the broadcast of the wireless network name (SSID)
. If you disable broadcast
of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies wireless
network discovery feature of some products, such as Windows XP, but the data is still
exposed.
•
WEP.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP
Shared Key authentication and WEP data encryption block all but the most determined
eavesdropper. This data encryption mode has been superseded by WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK. WEP encryption is available only when the Mode setting is Up to 54 Mbps.
•
WPA-802.1x, WPA2-802.1x
. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with user authentication
implemented using IEE 802.1x and RADIUS servers.
•
WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (AES)
. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) using a pre-shared
key to perform authentication and generate the initial data encryption keys. The very
strong authentication along with dynamic per frame re-keying of WPA makes it virtually
impossible to compromise.
