Option
Description
Guest Network
Select Enable to enable guest network.
Guest Network Name
(SSID)
Enter a name for the guest network.
Closed Network
Select Enable to supress broadcast of the SSID.
WPA
WiFi Protected Access (WPA) offers stronger encryption than
WEP. Enable WPA alone if you have a RADIUS server –
otherwise WPA-PSK.
WPA-PSK
Offers stronger encryption than WEP. When enabled, you must
also enter a Pre-Shared Key.
WPA2
Offers state-of-the-art security. Enable WPA2 alone only if you
have a RADIUS server; otherwise use WPA2-PSK.
WPA2-PSK
Offers state-of-the-art security. When enabled, you must also
enter a Pre-Shared Key below.
WPA/WPA2 Encryption
Select Enable to use WPA/WPA2 encryption.
WPA Pre-Shared Key
Enter a 8-63 ASCII character string if you have enabled
WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.
RADIUS Server
If you’re using a RADIUS server, enter it’s IP address here. The
RADIUS server may be on either public network (WAN) or
private network (LAN).
RADIUS Port
(Relevant only when the
RADIUS server is enabled)
Enter the UDP port number of the RADIUS server. The default
port is 1812.
RADIUS Key
(Relevant only when the
RADIUS server is enabled)
Enter the RADIUS Key.
Group Key Rotation Interval
(Relevant only when the
RADIUS server is enabled)
When enabled, the cable modem/router generates the best
possible random group key and updates all key-management
capable clients periodically. Set to zero to disable periodic
rekeying.
WPA/WPA2 Re-auth
Interval
Interval (in seconds) at which the cable modem/router (if using
WPA-PSK key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA
key management) sends a new group key out to all clients. The
re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of automatically
changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a
periodic basis.
WEP Encryption
WEP Encryption can be set to WEP 128-bit, 64-bit, or Disable.
Both the wireless clients and the cable modem/router must use
the same WEP key.
Shared Key Authentication
Select Enable to enable. Shared Key authentication is only
available when WEP is enabled.
