Description
Encryption
You can choose “None” to disable the encryption or select
“WEP”, “WPA(TKIP)”, “WPA2(AES)” or “WPA2 Mixed” mode for
security. When “WEP” is enabled, please click “Set WEP Key”
button to choose the default key and set the four sets of WEP
keys.
WEP
–WEP is less level of security than WPA. WEP supports
64-bit and 128-bit key lengths to encrypt the wireless data.
WPA(TKIP)
– WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP) for data encryption. TKIP utilized a stronger encryption
method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to
provide protection against hackers.
WPA2(AES)
– WPA2, also known as 802.11i, uses Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption. AES utilized a
symmetric 128-bit block data encryption.
WPA Mixed
– The router supports WPA (TKIP) and WPA2
(AES) for data encryption. The actual selection of the
encryption methods will depend on the clients.
Use 802.1x
Authentication
IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must
use a valid account to login to this wireless router before
accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed
by a RADIUS server. Check this box to authenticates user by
