WPA-RADIUS Encryption

Wi-Fi Protected Access (

WPA

session key to encrypt data during communication.

It uses

TKIP

or

CCMP

(

AES

) to change the encryption key frequently. Press

<Apply>

button when you are done.

- Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS™)

WPS™ is the simplest way to establish a connection between the wireless clients

and the wireless router. You don’t have to select the encryption mode and fill in a

long encryption passphrase every time when you try to setup a wireless

connection. You only need to press a button on both wireless client and wireless

router, and the WPS will do the rest for you.

The wireless router supports two types of WPS, the WPS via Push Button and

WPS via PIN code. If you want to use the Push Button, you have to push a

specific button on the wireless client or in the utility of the wireless client to start

the WPS mode, and switch the wireless router to WPS mode. You can simply

push the WPS button of the wireless router, or click the ‘Start to Process’ button

in the web configuration interface. If you want to use the PIN code, you have to

know the PIN code of the wireless client and switch it to WPS mode, then fill-in

the PIN code of the wireless client through the web configuration interface of the

wireless router.
