AES has more advanced security functions than TKIP.Default gatewayWhen communicating with devices that exist on a different network, the data is first transferred to a node (relay point) called a gateway. However, when the gateway to which the data should be transmitted is not known, the data is transferred to the most typical node called the default gateway.DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)A system for automatically allocating configuration data required for an Internet connection.IP addressIP addresses usually comprise four groups of up to three digits each, separated by a period (such as 192.168.239.1). All devices on a network must have an IP address. MAC address (Media Access Control Address)A unique number set to identify a network interface on a network. A unique address is assigned to each interface connected to a network.SSID (Service Set Identifier)The name used by a wireless LAN to identify a specific network. The same SSID is set for both the wireless LAN router and the device with wireless LAN functions, and wireless communication is possible between devices with matching SSID.Subnet maskPart of an IP address that identifies the subnet, a smaller group on the network.TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)An encryption protocol employed by the wireless LAN encryption systems WPA and WPA2. TKIP prevents decoding of encryption keys and spoofing, and has more advanced security functions than WEP.WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)A data encryption system employed by wireless LAN. WEP technology uses the same 64-bit or 128-bit encryption key for both devices communicating over a wireless LAN to prevent data from being decoded by other devices.WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)The wireless LAN encryption standard advocated by the wireless LAN industry group Wi-Fi Alliance.
