Configuring the Advanced Settings
WPA and WPA2 with authentication server
In large networks (e.g. in companies) WPA enables the use of an additional authentica-
tion service. In this case, user access is controlled by user accounts and passwords, in
addition to WPA encryption. A RADIUS server acts as an authentication server. You can
select the new standard
WPA2
if this is supported by all components in your wireless
network, or select
WPA2 / WPA
if you are using devices that only support WPA.

tions of the RADIUS server, which is to be used by the server for authentication.
