This setting has to be consistent with the wireless networks that the
adapter intends to connect to.
Open System – No authentication is needed to connect to the
wireless network.
Shared Key – Only wireless stations using a shared key (WEP
Key) are allowed to connect.
WPA 802.1X – WPA provides a scheme for mutual authentication,
using either IEEE 802.1x/Extensible Authentication Protocol
(EAP) authentication or pre-shared key (PSK) technology. It
provides a high level of assurance to enterprise networks, small
businesses and home users that data will remain protected and
only authorized users may access their networks. For enterprise
networks that have already deployed IEEE 802.1x authentication,
WPA offers the advantage of leveraging existing authentication
databases and infrastructure.
WPA-PSK – Is a special protected access designed for home and
small business users who do not have access to network
authentication servers. In this mode, known as Pre-Shared Key,
the user manually enters the starting password in their access point
or gateway, as well as in each wireless stations in the network.
WPA-PSK takes over automatically from that point, preventing
unauthorized users that don‟t have the matching password from
joining the network, while encrypting the data traveling between
authorized devices.
WEP 802.1X – It‟s a special mode for using IEEE 802.1x/EAP
technology for authentication and WEP keys for data encryption
Disabled – Disable Data Encryption.
WEP – Enable WEP Encryption. When selected, you have to
continue setting the WEP Encryption keys.
TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the
temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message
