The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) option improves data 
encryption over WEP scheme by dynamically updating the encryption 
keys every 10,000 packets. TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a 
message integrity check, and a re-keying mechanism.

To use TKIP:

1 On the Wireless Security page, select TKIP.

2 Select WPA-PSK for home network or WPA for the scenarios where 

RADIUS servers are employed:

■

WPA-PSK: Enter a pass-phrase key or hexadecimal key. The key can be 
generated based on a pass-phrase or a sequence of manually entered 
64 hexadecimals. The 64 hexadecimals can be automatically 
generated by selecting Generate a Random Key.

■

WPA: Select an authentication scheme (TTLS or PEAP) and a relevant 
authentication type, and enter a user name and a password.

3 Select Apply.

Click the button of TKIP to set TKIP relevant parameters.

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) option uses the highest security 

cipher for data encryption.

To use AES:

1 On the Wireless Security page, select AES.

2 Select WPA-PSK for home network or WPA for the scenarios where 

RADIUS servers are employed:

■

WPA-PSK: Enter a pass-phrase key or hexadecimal key. The key can be 
generated based on a pass-phrase or a sequence of manually entered 
64 hexadecimals. The 64 hexadecimals can be automatically 
generated by selecting Generate a Random Key.

If the network mode is set to Ad-hoc (Peer-to-Peer), the option 
WPA-NONE appears, instead of WPA-PSK.

■

WPA: Select an authentication scheme (TTLS or PEAP) and a relevant 
authentication type, and enter a user name and a password.

3 Select Apply.

Click the button of AES to set or modify AES relevant parameters.
