2.1) Security Setting is on your right and the screen will vary in appearance depending on whether any
encryption was detected with your AP/Router. Please enter in the appropriate security
information.
[Security] shows you different types of security modes.
a. Disable
It represents no security. All data sent between the AP and the client is left unencrypted and may
be viewed by other wireless devices.
b. WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy – Encrypts all traffic sent between the AP and the client using a shared
key. When using WEP encryption (available in 64, 128, or 256-bit
3
), only those APs and PCs
using the same WEP Key are allowed to communicate with each other.
c. WPA-PSK
WPA-PSK is designed for home users. Like WEP, it uses a pre-shared key that every user of the
network must have in order to be able to send and receive data. Like WPA, it uses TKIP, which
improves greatly over the encryption found in WEP.
d. WPA2-PSK
WPA2-PSK is designed for home users. Like WEP, it uses a pre-shared key that every user of the
network must have in order to be able to send and receive data. Like WPA, it uses AES, which
improves greatly over the encryption found in WEP.
We recommend you use WPA-PSK/WPA2 or WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK whenever possible.
For the detail security setting, please refer to Chapter 4—Configuring Wireless Security.

256-bit WEP shall be complied with your AP/Router’s WEP setting.
