Windows Settings
WPA-PSK - Specifies the use of a preshared key with infrastructure mode.
Enables WPA Preshared key, which enables your client adapter to associate to
Access Point using WPA-PSK.
WPA-None - Specifies the use of a preshared key with Ad Hoc mode.
WPA - The network is operating in IEEE 802.1x authentication mode. This
mode is environments with a RADIUS (Remote Access Dial-in User Service)
infrastructure. In a RADIUS environment, various Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP) are supported, including PEAP, TLS/Smart Card, TTLS, and
LEAP.
Data encryption
For open and shared authentication mode, the selection of encryption type are
Disable and WEP. For WPA-PSK and WPA authentication mode, it must support
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) encryption, and may support AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption.
Disabled - Disable the encryption function.
WEP - A WEP Key is used to encrypt your data before it is transmitted over
the air. You will only be able to communicate with wireless devices that have
use the same WEP keys.
TKIP: TKIP uses an encryption algorithm methods which is more stringent
than the WEP algorithm and also uses existing WLAN calculation facilities to
perform encryption operations. TKIP verifies the security configuration after
the encryption keys are determined.
AES: AES is a symmetric 128-bit block encryption technique which works
simultaneously on multiple network layers.
Wireless Network Key
Selecting “TKIP” or “AES” in the encryption filed is used as a password to
begin the encryption proceed. Note: 8 to 63 characters are required.
Wireless Network Key (WEP)
This option is enable only if you enable WEP Encryption. The WEP Key is a
64 bits (5 byte) or 128 bits (13 byte) Hexadecimal digits that is used to encrypt
transmit data packets and decrypt received data packets.
