Encryption
The encrytion modes supported by RT-N11 are: Shared key (WEP-64bits/WEP-
128bits), WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA-Auto-Personal(TKIP+AES),
WPA-enterprise, WPA2-enterprise, WPA-Auto-Enterprise (TKIP+AES), Radius with
802.1x.
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It uses 64bits or 128bits static keys
to encrypt the data for wireless transmission. To set up WEP keys, set WEP
Encryption to WEP-64bits or WEP-128bits, then manually key in four sets
of WEP Keys (10 hexadecimal digits for 64-bits key or 26 hexadecimal digits
for 128-bits key). You can also let the system generate the keys by entering a
Passphrase.
TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP dynamically generates
unique keys to encrypt every data packet in a wireless session. AES stands
for Advanced Encryption Standard. This solution offers stronger protection and
increases the complexity of wireless encryption. TKIP+AES is used when both
WPA and WPA2 clients co-exist in the wireless network.
WPA-Personal utilizes a password setup to protect the system from unauthorized
access. WPA-Enterprise verifies network users through a server.
