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. 3 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. 4 Name 64-bit Wired 128-bit Wired Wi-Fi Protected With Protected 5 Equivalent Equivalent Access-TKIP Access Privacy Privacy 6 Acronym 64-bit WEP 128-bit WEP WPA-TKIP WPA-AES Security Good Better Best Best 7 Features Static keys Static keys Dynamic key Dynamic key encryption encryption and mutual and mutual 8 authentication. authentication.

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. 39
