WPA Authentication Mode
There are 2 types of authentication mode for WPA.

WPA-RADIUS:
WPA RADIUS uses an external RADIUS server to perform
user authentication. To use WPA RADIUS, enter the IP address of the
RADIUS server, the RADIUS port (default is 1812) and the shared secret
from the RADIUS server. Please refer to “Authentication RADIUS Server”
setting below for RADIUS setting. The WPA algorithm is selected between
TKIP and AES, please refer to “WPA cipher Suite” below.

Pre-Shared Key authentication is based on a shared
secret that is known only by the parties involved. To use WPA Pre-Shared
Key, select key format and enter a password in the “Pre-Shared Key Format”
and “Pre-Shared Key” setting respectively. Please refer to “Pre-Shared Key
Format” and “Pre-Shared Key” setting below.

hexadecimal secret.
Pre-Shared Key

WPS
Although home Wi-Fi networks have become more and more popular, users still have
trouble with the initial set up of network. This obstacle forces users to use the open
security and increases the risk of eavesdropping. Therefore, The Wi-Fi Protected Setup
(WPS) is designed to ease set up of security-enabled Wi-Fi networks and subsequently
network management.
The largest difference between WPS-enabled devices and legacy devices is that users do
not need the knowledge about SSID, channel and security settings, but they could still surf
in a security-enabled Wi-Fi network.
This device supports Push Button method and PIN method for WPS. The following sub-
paragraphs will describe the function of each item. The webpage is as below.

Description
Disable WPS
Check to disable the Wi-Fi protected Setup.
WPS Status
When AP’s settings are factory default (out of box), it is set to open security and
un-configured state. “WPS Status” will display it as “UnConfigured”. If it already
shows “Configured”, some registrars such as Vista WCN will not configure AP.
Users will need to go to the “Backup/Restore” page and click “Reset” to reload
factory default settings.
Self-PIN Number
“Self-PIN Number” is AP’s PIN. Whenever users want to change AP’s PIN, they
could click “Regenerate PIN” and then click “ Apply Changes”. Moreover, if users
want to make their own PIN, they could enter four-digit PIN without checksum
and then click “ Apply Changes”. However, this would not be recommended since
the registrar side needs to be supported with four-digit PIN.
Push Button Configuration
Clicking this button will invoke the PBC method of WPS. It is only used when AP
acts as a registrar.
Client PIN Number
It is only used when users want their station to join AP’s network. The length of
PIN is limited to four or eight numeric digits. If users enter eight-digit PIN with
checksum error, there will be a warning message popping up. If users insist on
this PIN, AP will take it.
Function buttons in this page:
Regenerate PIN
Click to regenerate the Self-PIN Number.
