data encryption.

Disabled No

encryption is
used.

Shared

The network operates in Shared
Key authentication mode when a
network key is used for data
encryption. WEP is the type of
encryption used. The Shared Key
authentication mode is the least
secure.

WEP 64-bit
or
WEP 128-bit

A network
key is used.

WPA-PSK

For infrastructure environments
without the RADIUS infrastructure.
WPA-PSK supports the use of a
pre-shared key. WPA-PSK is the
next generation of wireless network
security for home and small office
environments.

TKIP A

WPA

The network operates in IEEE
802.1x authentication mode. This
mode is for environments with a
Remote Access Dial-In User Service
(RADIUS) infrastructure.

This authentication is usually used
by enterprise business systems or
large corporations.

In a RADIUS environment, various
Extensible Authentication Protocols
(EAPs) are supported. These may
include TLS, TTLS, PEAP, and
LEAP.
