Wireless Encryption

This page is available from Home by selecting
Wireless Encryption. Here, you can manually

select the type of wireless encryption you’d
like to use. Your AirStation supports three
different encryption schemes; choose the best
one that all your clients support.

Virtually all wireless clients support WEP. It’s
a lot better than nothing.

TKIP is much more secure than WEP, but
slower.

AES is even more secure than TKIP, and the
fastest of all. Highly recommended if all of
your wireless clients support it.
