Encryption The encryption method to be applied.
You can choose from WEP, WPA pre-shared key or WPA RADIUS.
• Disabled - no data encryption is used.
• WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard.
• WPA-PSK - data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard than WEP,
and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK,
you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.
• WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater security,
using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
• WPA-RADIUS - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the
client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using
the WPA standard.
If this option is selected:
• This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when required.
• All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically
generated, so no key input is required.
IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this Access Point before accessing the
wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not
encrypt the data during communication.
