Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on the 128 bit
encryption algorithm (Atheros module type).
■
11a, 11b, 11g and 11n wireless are based on IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b,
802.11g and 802.11n respectively. The IEEE 802.11n specification has
not been finalized and is currently in draft release. The TOSHIBA 11a/b/
g/n Wireless LAN Adaptors are based on the draft release, version 2.0,
of the IEEE 802.11n specification. An adaptor with 11a/b, 11a/b/g or
11a/b/g/n can communicate on any of its supported formats; the actual
connection will be based on the access point to which it connects.
■
Connection compatibility with the wireless equipment in draft 11n mode
is not guaranteed.
■
The draft 11n function cannot be used with WEP/TKIP. draft 11n mode
can be used only with WPA-PSK(AES) mode or no security mode.
