ƒ Encryption: Select WPA or WPA2 from the drop-down list if your wireless network
uses this encryption. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was designed to improve upon
the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The technology is designed
to work with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP. WPA
provides improved data encryption through the Temporal Integrity Protocol (TKIP),
which scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and by adding an integrity
checking feature which makes sure that keys haven’t been tampered with.
