“WPA-shared key” (for an infrastructure network) or “WPA-None” (enables
WPA security for your ad hoc network) requires users to select the advanced
encryption methods, i.e. TKIP or AES and enter a set of shared key.
TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key
every 10,000 packets. This insures much greater security than the standard
WEP security.
AES – AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of security and
authenticity for digital information and it is the most advanced solution defined
by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the wireless network.
Key – Enter 8 to 63 digits of ASCII format to be the key for the authentication
within the network.
When you finish configuring the wireless security, click “Next” to go to next
step.
