5.2.4.3 Security<br />

This router provides complete wireless LAN security functions, including WEP,<br />

IEEE 802.1x, IEEE 802.1x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key and WPA with<br />

RADIUS. With these security functions, you can protect your wireless LAN from<br />

illegal access. Make sure your wireless stations use the same security function.<br />

Parameter Description<br />

Encryption Choose “None” to disable the encryption, or select<br />

“WEP,” “WPA(TKIP),” “WPA2(AES)” or “WPA2 Mixed”<br />

mode for security. When “WEP” is enabled, click “Set<br />

WEP Key” to choose the default key and set the four sets<br />

of WEP keys.<br />

• WEP is a lower level of security than WPA, and<br />

supports 64-bit and 128-bit key lengths to encrypt the<br />

wireless data.<br />

• WPA (TKIP) uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol<br />

(TKIP) for data encryption. TKIP utilizes a stronger<br />

encryption method and incorporates Message Integrity<br />

Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers.<br />

• WPA2 (AES) uses the Advanced Encryption Standard<br />

(AES) for data encryption, which utilizes a symmetric<br />

128-bit block data encryption.<br />

• WPA Mixed tells the router to support WPA (TKIP) and<br />
