•
Disabled - No security. Anyone using the correct SSID can connect to your network.
•
WEP - The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before transmission, but the encryption
system is not very strong.
•
WPA2-Personal - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater
security, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method. This method, some-
times called "Mixed Mode", allows clients to use either WPA-Personal (with TKIP) or
WPA2-Personal (with AES).
•
WPA2-Enterprise - Requires a RADIUS Server on your LAN to provide the client
authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using
the WPA2 standard.
If this option is selected:
•
This access point must have a client login on the RADIUS Server.
•
Each user must authenticate on the RADIUS Server. This is usually done using digital
certificates.
