Encryption
FRITZ!Box 60
Encryption
The most important security setting is encryption.
FRITZ!Box supports the security mechanisms WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy), WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and
WPA2 as follows:
As part of the WEP mechanism a static key is deter-
mined to serve for the encryption of the user data. The
key must also be entered in the WLAN settings of the
WLAN clients.
The WPA and WPA2 mechanisms provide for authenti-
cation while the connection is being established. For
this a WPA password must be defined.
When WPA is selected, the TKIP encryption method is used
to encrypt the user data. In WPA2 the AES-CCMP encryption
method is used.
The security mechanis selected must also be supported by
your WLAN adapter.
The user data are encrypted using an automatically gener-
ated key. This key is regenerated at regular intervals.
The WPA password used may be 8 to 63 characters in
length. For increased security, however, the password
should be at least 20 characters long. Use numerals, letters
and special characters and combine capitals and lower-
case letters.
Encryption Configured in the Factory Settings
In the FRITZ!Box a combined encryption “WPA + WPA2” with
the TKIP/AES-CCMP encryption method is preconfigured.
This setting allows you to use WLAN adapters that support
WPA (TKIP) or WPA2 (AES-CCMP) or both methods.
It is advisable to change the preconfigured WLAN key as
soon as possible. Changes to the settings can be config-
ured on the FRITZ!Box user interface.
