Wireless Security (only for BiPAC 7800N)
You can disable or enable wireless security with WPA or WEP for protecting wireless network. The
default mode of wireless security is disabled.
WPA / WPA2
WPA/WPA2 Pre-Shared Key
RADIUS/802.1x:
Whether to enable RADIUS function or not (For WPA/WPA2/WEP encryption).
Security Mode:
You can choose the type of security mode you want to apply from the drop down
menu.
WPA Algorithms:
There are 3 types of the WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK & WPA/WPA2-PSK. The WPA-
PSK adapts the TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
encrypted algorithms, which incorporates
Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers. The WPA2-PSK adapts CCMP
(Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol) of the AES (Advanced Encryption
Security) algorithms.
WPA Shared Key:
The key for
network authentication. The input format is in character style and key
size should be in the range between 8 and 63 characters.
Group Key Renewal:
The period of renewal time for changing the security key automatically

between wireless client and Access Point (AP). Default value is 3600 seconds.
Click Apply to confirm the settings.
WEP
RADIUS / 802.1x:
Whether to enable RADIUS / 802.1x.
WEP Authentication:
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted
over the network, the router offers secure data encryption, known as WEP. There are
3 options to
select from:
Open System,
Shared key
or
both
.
Default Used WEP Key:
Select the encryption key ID; please refer to
Key (1~4)
below.
Passphrase:
This is
used to generate WEP keys automatically based upon the input string and a
pre-defined algorithm in WEP64 or WEP128.
Key (1-4):
Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data transmission, the WEP
Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be
the same as the router. There are four keys
for your selection. The input format can be either HEX style or ASCII format, 10 and 26 HEX codes
or 5 and 13 ASCII codes are required for WEP64 and WEP128 respectively.
Click Apply to confirm the settings.
Note: For information about settling Radius/802.1x, please refer to
