z No Encryption

Although you can easily make settings, anyone can intercept wireless communication or intrude into your wireless network without any sophisticated tools. Keep in mind that there is a risk for unauthorized access or interception of data.
When you use the Base Station in client mode, you can use a channel in the 2.4 GHz band only. Use a Wireless Access Point that supports channels in the 2.4 GHz band.
WEP is the wireless LAN security technology specified by IEEE802.11. It applies encryption to communications to prevent outsiders from intercepting communications or intruding into your wireless network. There are two types of encryption key length; 64-bit key and 128-bit key. The 128-bit encryption key assures a higher security level. Because many wireless devices support WEP conventionally, WEP has high compatibility. However, a decryption technique exists, so using the same encryption key for an extended period of time is not recommended.

z TKIP

Access Control
You can select whether to permit or deny access to the [Base Station Setting] page from a device which has a global IP address. Usually, only the devices which are in the same LAN and have a private IP address can access the [Base Station Settings] page. However, some routers allow you to assign a global IP address to a device, and if you do so, the device cannot access the [Base Station Settings] page. If you want to access the [Base Station Settings] page from a device with a global IP address, you need to make settings of access control as follow.
TKIP is a security technology developed to correct for the deficiencies of WEP.
AES is a security technology which uses an advanced encryption method that is distinct from WEP and TKIP. AES assures a higher security level than WEP or TKIP.
About the settings of Wireless LAN Security of the Base Station
z Access Point mode Base Station Settings
The security for wireless LAN communication is set to [WEP] at the time of purchase. To increase the security level, switching to [WPA-PSK TKIP] or [WPA2-PSK AES] is recommended, depending on the security technology supported by your wireless device.
