Encryption

Encryption is used to convert plain text data into unreadable codes with certain

type of algorithm before capsulation for wireless transmission. WiFi-AP Solo

supports the following encryption methods:
WEP: WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It uses 64 or 128-bit

static keys. You can let the system generate the WEP keys by inputting a

Passphrase.

TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) dynamically generates unique

keys to encypt every data packet in a wireless session.

AES:

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a dependable encryption

adopted in WPA2 or IEEE802.11i standard. It offers stronger protection

and greatly increases the complexity of wireless encryption.

TKIP + AES: For a network where WPA clients (using TKIP encryption) and WPA2

clients (using AES encryption) co-exit. Select this option to enable both.
