For most users, it is recommended to use the default Wireless LAN Performance settings. Any
changes made to these settings may adversely affect your wireless network. Under certain
circumstances, changes may benefit performance. Carefully consider and evaluate any changes
to these wireless settings.

WEP
WEP is a basic encryption method offering two levels of encryption, 64-bit and 128-bit encryption.
To configure the WEP encryption, there are two ways.
•
Keep the Network Authentication of
Open (insecurity)
and select
Enabled
from the WEP
Encryption drop-down list, as shown in Figure 4-74.
Open (insecurity)
allows any wireless
station to associate with the access point.
•
Select
Shared (good)
from the Network Authentication drop-down list, as shown in Figure
4-75.
Shared (good)
only allows stations using a shared key encryption to associate with it.
Shared key requires additional configuration of the keys to be used. Follow the instructions

WPA
WPA security for wireless communication has been developed to overcome some of the
shortcomings of WEP. WPA combines the key generation with the authentication services of a
RADIUS server.

WPA Group ReKey Interval:
Enter the Key Renewal period, which tells the Router how often
it should change encryption keys.
