Page 34 highlights

Encryption Encryption is used to convert plain text data into unreadable codes with certain type of algorithm before capsulation for wireless transmission. WiFi-AP Solo supports the following encryption methods: WEP: WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It uses 64 or 128-bit static keys. You can let the system generate the WEP keys by inputting a Passphrase. TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) dynamically generates unique keys to encypt every data packet in a wireless session. AES: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a dependable encryption adopted in WPA2 or IEEE802.11i standard. It offers stronger protection and greatly increases the complexity of wireless encryption. TKIP + AES: For a network where WPA clients (using TKIP encryption) and WPA2 clients (using AES encryption) co-exit. Select this option to enable both. 3-16

Encryption
Encryption is used to convert plain text data into unreadable codes with certain
type of algorithm before capsulation for wireless transmission. WiFi-AP Solo
supports the following encryption methods:
WEP:
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It uses 64 or 128-bit
static keys. You can let the system generate the WEP keys by inputting a
Passphrase.
TKIP:
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) dynamically generates unique
keys to encypt every data packet in a wireless session.
AES:
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a dependable encryption
adopted in WPA2 or IEEE802.11i standard. It offers stronger protection
and greatly increases the complexity of wireless encryption.
TKIP + AES:
For a network where WPA clients (using TKIP encryption) and WPA2
clients (using AES encryption) co-exit. Select this option to enable both.
