DESCRIPTION
Select the security standard you want to use.
All the other wireless devices on your network
must be able to use the same standard you
select.
•
Open mode is used when security is not an
issue. No authentication is required, and any
wireless device can join the network.
•
Shared mode security is used with WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy).
•
WPA-PSK security uses a pre-shared key. All the
wireless devices on the network use the same
key to access the network. This option is not
available in ad-hoc mode.
•
WPA2-PSK is an improved version of WPA-PSK
security. This option is not available in ad-hoc
mode.
•
When you select Open or Shared in the
Authentication Type field, either select None to
use no security, or select WEP to use Wired
Equivalent Privacy security.
•
When you select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK in the
Authentication Type field, select TKIP to use
the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. Alternatively,
select AES to use the Advanced Encryption
Standard.
