Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface section 1 Securing your Wi-Fi® Network Here are a few different ways you can maximize the security of your wireless network and protect your data from prying eyes and ears. 2 This section is intended for the home, home office, and small office user. At the time of this User Manual's publication, there are three encryption methods available. 3 4 Name 64-bit Wired 128-bit Wired Wi-Fi Protected Wi-Fi Protected Equivalent Privacy Equivalent Privacy Access-TKIP Access-AES 5 Acronym 64-bit WEP 128-bit WEP WPA-TKIP WPA-AES Security Good Better Best Best 6 Features Static keys Static keys Dynamic key Dynamic key encryption encryption 7 and mutual and mutual authentication authentication 8 Encryption More secure TKIP (temporal AES (Advanced keys based than 64-bit key integrity Encryption on RC4 WEP using a protocol) Standard) 9 algorithm key length of added so does not (typically 104 bits plus that keys are cause any 40-bit keys) 24 additional rotated and bits of system- encryption is throughput loss 10 generated data strengthened 11 WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a common protocol that adds security to all Wi-Fi-compliant wireless products. WEP was designed to give wireless networks the equivalent level of privacy protection as a comparable wired network. 64-Bit WEP 64-bit WEP was first introduced with 64-bit encryption, which includes a key length of 40 bits plus 24 additional bits of system-generated data (64 bits total). Some hardware manufacturers refer to 64-bit as 40-bit encryption. Shortly after the technology was introduced, researchers found that 64-bit encryption was too easy to decode. 37
