Description
normally across devices.
It specifies the security modes supported by the AP, including:
None: This wireless network is open. The security level is the lowest.
WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy. The security level is very low.
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK: Applicable to most scenarios.
Security Mode
WPA and WPA2: This mode provides highest security level. It use 802.1 x RADUIS
to encrypt and is applicable to enterprises.
See Security Mode for details.
Security Mode
A WiFi network uses radio open to the public as its data transmission medium. If the WiFi network
is not protected by necessary measures, any device can connect to the network to access
unprotected data over the network or the resources of the network. To ensure communication
security, transmission links of WiFi network must be encrypted.
The AP supports various security modes for network encryption, including None, WEP, WPA-PSK,
WPA2-PSK, Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK, and WPA/WPA2.
None
It indicates that any wireless device can connect to the WiFi network. This option is not
recommended because it leads to network insecurity.
WEP
It uses a static key to encrypt all exchanged data, and ensures that a WLAN has the same level of
security as a wired LAN. However, data encrypted based on WEP can be easily cracked. In addition,
WEP supports a maximum WiFi network throughput of only 54 Mbps. Therefore, this security mode
is not recommended.
Select WEP from the Security Mode drop-down list menu, the following parameters appear. See the
following figure.
