memory for all events, logs of older events are deleted but logs of the latest events are retained. The Logs option allows 
you to view the router logs. You can define what types of events you want to view and the level of the events to view.

Wireless Security
This section will show you the different levels of security you can use \
to protect your data from intruders. The 
DIR-825 offers the following 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, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired 
Equivalent Privacy).  
The 2 major improvements over WEP: 
• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys 
using  a  hashing  algorithm  and,  by  adding  an  integrity-checking  feature,  ensures  that  the  keys  haven’t 
been tampered with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead 
of TKIP.
• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol 
(EAP).  WEP  regulates  access  to  a  wireless  network  based  on  a  computer’s  hardware-specific  MAC 
address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key 
encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can acces\
s the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric 
password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must 
be the exact same key entered on your wireless router or access point.
WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a 
more secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized \
network users can access the network.
