Appendix 

How to choose the type of security for your wireless network 

Setting up wireless security is very important. Leaving your wireless network open and 

unsecure could expose your entire network and personal files to outsiders. TRENDnet 

recommends reading through this entire section and setting up wireless security on your 

new router.  
There are a few different wireless security types supported in wireless networking each 

having its own characteristics which may be more suitable for your wireless network 

taking into consideration compatibility, performance, as well as the security strength 

along with using older wireless networking hardware (also called legacy hardware).  
It is strongly recommended to enable wireless security to prevent unwanted users from 

accessing your network and network resources (personal documents, media, etc.). 
In general, it is recommended that you choose the security type with the highest 

strength and performance supported by the wireless computers and devices in your 

network. Please review the security types to determine which one you should use for 

your network. 

Wireless Encryption Types 

 

WEP:

 Legacy encryption method supported by older 802.11b/g hardware. This is 

the oldest and least secure type of wireless encryption. It is generally not 

recommended to use this encryption standard, however if you have old 802.11 b or 

802.11g wireless adapters or computers with old embedded wireless cards(wireless 

clients), you may have to set your router to WEP to allow the old adapters to 

connect to the router. 

 

Note

: This encryption standard will limit connection speeds to 54Mbps.  

 

 

WPA: 

This encryption is significantly more robust than the WEP technology. Much 

of the older 802.11g hardware was been upgraded (with firmware/driver upgrades) 

to support this encryption standard.  Total wireless speeds under this encryption 

type however are limited to 54Mbps. 

 

 

WPA-

Auto: This setting provides the router with the ability to detect wireless 

devices using either WPA or WPA2 encryption. Your wireless network will 

automatically change the encryption setting based on the first wireless device 

connected. For example, if the first wireless client that connects to your wireless 

network uses WPA encryption your wireless network will use WPA encryption. Only 

when all wireless clients disconnect to the network and a wireless client with WPA2 

encryption connects your wireless network will then change to WPA2 encryption.  

Note:

  WPA2 encryption supports 802.11n speeds and WPA encryption will limit 

your connection speeds to 54Mbps

  

 

 

WPA2: 

This is the most secure wireless encryption available today, similar to WPA 

encryption but more robust.  This encryption standard also supports the highest 

connection speeds. TRENDnet recommends setting your router to this encryption 

standard. If you find that one of your wireless network devices does not support 

WPA2 encryption, then set your router to either WPA or WPA-Auto encryption.  

Note: 

Check the specifications of your wireless network adapters and wireless 

appliances to verify the highest level of encryption supported. 

 

Below is brief comparison chart of the wireless security types and the recommended 

configuration depending on which type you choose for your wireless network.
