Parameter Meaning
Wireless encryption You may use any of the following types of encryption:
No encryption
Data is transmitted without encryption. Avoid this option since
any communication may be intercepted.
[No encryption] can be selected only when [No authentication] is
selected for Wireless authentication.
WEP
WEP is a common encryption method supported by most
devices. Use an encryption key to communicate with a wireless
device.
WEP can only be selected when [No authentication] is selected
for Wireless authentication.
TKIP
TKIP is an encryption method which is more secure than WEP, but
slower. Use an pre-shared-key to communicate with a wireless
device.
TKIP can be selected only when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected
for Wireless authentication.
AES
AES is more secure than TKIP, and faster. Use a pre-shared-key to
communicate with a wireless device.
AES can be selected only when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected
for Wireless authentication.
TKIP/AES mixed mode
TKIP/AES mixed mode allows both TKIP and AES authentication
and communication.
TKIP/AES mixed mode can be selected only when WPA/WPA2
mixed mode - PSK is selected for Wireless authentication.
WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) A pre-shared key or passphrase is the [password] for your wireless
connections. There are two different formats for a pre-shared
key.
Use 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive) for an ASCII
passphrase, or use 64 digits using 0 to 9 and a to f (not case-sensitive) for a
hexadecimal passphrase..
Rekey interval Set the update interval for the encryption key between 0 and 1440
(minutes).
