Section 4 - Security
Wireless Se\furity
This  section  wi\f\f  show  you  the  different  \feve\fs  of  security  you  can  use  to  protect  your  data  from  intruders.  The  DIR-826L  offers  the 
fo\f\fowin\b types of security:
 • WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)       • WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
 • WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)        • WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
What is WPA?
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), is a Wi-Fi standard that was desi\bned to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equiva\fent Privacy).  
The 2 major improvements over WEP: 
• Improved data encryption throu\bh the Tempora\f Key Inte\brity Protoco\f (TKIP). TKIP scramb\fes the keys usin\b a hashin\b 
a\f\borithm  and,  by  addin\b  an  inte\brity-checkin\b  feature,  ensures  that  the  keys  haven’t  been  tampered  with. WPA2  is 
based on 802.11i a\und uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP.
• User  authentication,  which  is  \benera\f\fy  missin\b  in  WEP,  throu\bh  the  extensib\fe  authentication  protoco\f  (EAP).  WEP 
re\bu\fates access to a wire\fess network based on a computer’s hardware-specific MAC address, which is re\fative\fy simp\fe 
to be sniffed out and sto\fen. EAP is bui\ft on a more secure pub\fic-key encryption system to ensure that on\fy authorized 
network users can access the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wire\fess connection. The key is an a\fpha-numeric password between 
8 and 63 characters \fon\b. The password can inc\fude symbo\fs (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key entered on your 
wire\fess router or access point.
WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication throu\bh the Extensib\fe Authentication Protoco\f (EAP). EAP is bui\ft on a more secure pub\fic 
key encryption system to ensure that on\fy authorized network users can access the network.
