Manually Configuring your Router section 1 Encryption/Security Securing your Wi-Fi Network 2 Here are a few different ways you can maximize the security of your wireless network and protect your data from prying eyes and ears. This section is intended for the home, home office, and small office user. At the time of this 3 User Manual's publication, there are three encryption methods available. 4 Name 64-bit Wired 128-bit Wired Wi-Fi Protected Wi-Fi Protected Equivalent Equivalent Access-TKIP Access-AES 5 Privacy Privacy Acronym 64-bit WEP 128-bit WEP WPA-TKIP WPA-AES 6 Security Good Better Best Best Features Static keys Static keys Dynamic key Dynamic key 7 encryption encryption and mutual and mutual authentication. authentication. 8 Encryption More secure TKIP (temporal AES (Advanced keys based on RC4 than 64-bit WEP using a key integrity protocol) Encryption Standard) does 9 algorithm key length of added so not cause any (typically 104 bits plus 40-bit keys) 24 additional that keys are rotated and throughput loss. 10 bits of system encryption is generated strengthened. data. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) WEP 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. 31
