D-Link DAP-2622 User Manual

There are mainly two forms of wireless encryption, called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). WEP was the rst security method

developed. It is a low-level encryption but better than no encryption. WPA is a newer encryption standard, and with the more advanced WPA2 standard wireless

networks have nally reached a point where their security is strong enough to give users peace of mind.

Wireless Security

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

WEP provides two variations, called Open System and Shared Key.

Open System will send a request to the access point and if the key used matches the one congured on the access point, the access point will return a “success”

message back to the wireless client. If the key does not match the one congured on the access point, the access point will deny the connection request from

the wireless client.

Shared Key will send a request to the access point and if the key used matches the one congured on the access point, the access point will send a challenge

to the client. The client will then again send a conrmation of the same key back to the access point where the access point will either return a success or a

denial packet back to the wireless client.
