WPA2-PSK
If you don't have an external RADIUS server you should use
WPA2-PSK (WPA Pre-Shared Key) that only requires a single
(identical) password entered into wireless gateway and wireless
client. As long as the passwords match, a client will be granted
access to a WLAN.
WPA/WPA2 Encryption
Switch to enable and disable WPA/WPA2 encryption.
WPA Pre-Shared Key
The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are
the same. The only difference between the two is that WPA-
PSK uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific
credentials.
RADIUS Server
Input the IP address of RADIUS server
RADIUS Port
Enter RADIUS port number when WPA or 802. 1x network
authentication is selected.
RADIUS Key
Enter RADIUS Key when WPA or 802. 1x network
authentication is selected.
Group Key Rotation
Interval
Allows the wireless router to generate best possible random
group key and update all the key-management capable stations
periodically.
WPA/WPA2 Re-auth
Interval
Wireless router (if using WPA-PSK key management) or
RADIUS server (if using WPA key management) sends a new
group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA
equivalent of automatically changing the WEP key for an AP
and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis. Setting of the
WPA Group Key Update Timer is also supported in WPA-PSK
mode.
WEP Encryption
If you don’t have WPA(2)-aware wireless clients, then use WEP
key encrypting. A higher bit key offers better security. WEP
encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless
stations and the access points to keep network communications
private. It encrypts unicast and multicast communications in a
network. Both the wireless stations and the access points must
use the same WEP key. Data Encryption can be set to WEP
128-bit, 64-bit,
or
Disable.
Shared Key
Authentication
Shared Key is an authentication method used by wireless
LANs, which follow the IEEE 802.11 standard. Wireless devices
authenticate each other by using a secret key that is kept by
both devices.
