Encryption
The encryption modes supported by WL-700gE are: WEP (64bits), WEP
(128bits), TKIP, AES, and TKIP+AES.
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, it uses 64bits or 128bits
static keys to encrypt the data for wireless transmission. To setup
WEP keys, set WEP Encryption to WEP-64bits or WEP-1bits,
then manually type in four sets WEP Keys (10 hexadcimal digits for
64-bit key or 26 hexadcimal digits for 128-bit key). You can also let the
system generate the keys by entering a Passphrase.
TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP dynamically
generates unique keys to encrypt every data packet in a wireless
session.
AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard. This solution offers
stronger protection and increases the complexity of wireless encryption.
TKIP+AES is used when both WPA and WPA2 clients co-exist in the
wireless network.
