Security
SSID Selection:
Select the SSID that the security settings will apply to.
Broadcast SSID:
If Disabled, then the device will not be broadcasting the SSID. Therefore it will be invisible to
wireless clients.
WMM:
WiFi Multi-Media is a Quality of Service protocol which prioritizes traffic in the order according
to voice, video, best effort, background.
Note that in certain situations, WMM needs to be enabled to achieve 11n transfer speeds.
Encryption:
The encryption method to be applied.
You can choose from WEP, WPA pre-shared key or WPA RADIUS.
Disabled
- no data encryption is used.
WEP
- data is encrypted using the WEP standard.
WPA-PSK
- data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard than WEP,
and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK,
you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.
WPA2-PSK
- This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater security,
using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
WPA-RADIUS
- This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the
client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted
using the WPA standard.
If this option is selected:
This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when
required.
All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically
generated, so no key input is required.
