WEP uses a 64 bit, 128 bit, 152 bit or 256 bit WEP key. But, later it was superseded by WPA and WPA2. Earlier it was widely used and was the first security choice given to Wi-Fi users. I'm not sure if this whole Renewal and Idle Timeout is related to my reconnections, but it's my best guess.Įdit: Now I see the disconnect-reconnect thing happens every 3-4 hours too. WEP is a popular security algorithm for wireless networks and it was designed for providing data confidentiality for wireless networks. Group Key Renewal let me enter 6556, too, but once I try higher numbers, even 90000, it gives me an error and I have to stick with ~65535 seconds. The "Idle Timeout" one limits me to specify 120-65535 seconds, and "Group Key Renewal" doesn't seem to limit me at all. I looked into the security section in my router's control panel, and I saw "Group Key Renewal" and "Idle Timeout" as two other settings in my WPA-TKIP configuration. Every few hours (I'm going to guess 18, you'll soon know why) the computer I'm using to connect to it wirelessly disconnects, and then reconnects a bit later. After the first time it just connects automatically. Este protocolo de cifra que foi concebido para fornecer segurana na autenticao e confiana.
#WEP VS WPA 4 HOURS PASSWORD#
I have WPA TKIP security enabled for it, so whenever I want to get connected wirelessly I just enter the password I specified and I'm connected. Actualmente ainda existem muitos dispositivos wireless configurados com WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). Hi, I have a not-so-well-known-brand router, and I don't think its brand really matters here.
