D-Link GO-RT-N300 User Manual

Section 4 - Security

This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The 

GO-RT-N300 offers the following types of security:

• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)  

 

• WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)

• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)   

 

• WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent 

Privacy).  

The 2 major improvements over WEP: 

• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a 

hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered 

with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP.

• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). 

WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specific MAC address, which is 

relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to 

ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password 

between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key 

entered on your wireless router or access point.

WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a more 

secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.
