Field Description
Encryption In infrastructure mode:
Disable – the communication is not encrypted.
WEP – the communication is encrypted using 64/128/256 bit WEP.
TKIP – replaces WEP with a stronger encryption algorithm. The
passwords change dynamically, and the change is synchronized be-
tween the access point and the wireless client.
AES – another encryption method, more secure than WEP.
In ad-hoc mode:
Enable WEP – encryption is enabled.
Disable WEP – encryption is disabled.
Authen-
tication
Mode The following authentication modes are available:
Open System - the simplest authentication method. The client
sends out a request and the access point authenticates it. There is
no encryption.
Shared Key – this method uses a WEP encrypted password for
authentication. The client will be authenticated by the access point
only if the passwords match.
Auto – in this mode, the access point provides the method for au-
thentication and the client uses the offered method, if available.
In the infrastructure mode, two more modes are available:
WPA – uses a combination of Open System and 802.1x authentica-
tion. First the wireless client authenticates with the access point,
then performs user-level authentication with 802.1x.
WPA PSK - a WPA pre-shared-key mode, which doesn’t require
802.1x authentication. The authentication in this mode is based on
shared secrets, stored both on the access point and on the wireless
client.
WPA2 and WPA2 PSK – second generation of the Wi-Fi Protect-
ed Access based on the final IEEE 802.11i amendment to the 802.11
standard.
