Wireless Tab / Wireless Security
The Wireless security settings tab configures the security of
your wireless network. There are five wireless security mode options
supported by the Router: Disabled, WEP, PSK-Personal, PSK2-Personal,
PSK-Enterprise, PSK2-Enterprise, and RADIUS.
| Wireless Security |
Disabled
This option features no security on your
wireless network.
WEP
This secuirty mode is defined in the
original IEEE 802.11. This mode is not recommended now due to
its weak security protection. Users are urged to migrate to
PSK or PSK2.
- Encryption
Select a level of WEP encryption, 64
bits (10 hex digits) or 128 bits (26 hex digits).
- Passphrase
If you want to generate WEP keys using
a Passphrase, then enter the Passphrase in the field
provided and click the Generate key.
- Key 1-4
If you want to manually enter WEP keys,
then complete the fields provided. Each WEP key can consist
of the letters “A” through “F” and the numbers “0” through
“9”. It should be 10 characters in length for 64-bit
encryption or 26 characters in length for 128-bit
encryption.
PSK-Personal
- Encryption
PSK offers you two encryption methods,
TKIP and AES for data encryption. Select the type of
algorithm you want to use. The default is TKIP.
- Pre-shared Key
Enter a PSK-Personal Shared Key of 8-63
characters.
- Key Renewal
Enter a Key Renewal period, which
instructs the Wireless Router how often it should change the
encryption keys. The default is 3600 seconds.
PSK2-Personal
- Encryption
PSK2 offers you two encryption methods,
TKIP or AES and AES for data encryption. Select the type of
algorithm you want to use. The default is AES.
- Pre-shared Key
Enter a PSK2 Shared Key of 8-63
characters.
- Key Renewal
Enter a Key Renewal period, which
instructs the Wireless Router how often it should change the
encryption keys. The default is 3600 seconds.
PSK-Enterprise
This option features PSK used in
coordination with a RADIUS server for client authentication.
(This should only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to
the Wireless Router.)
- Encryption
PSK offers you two encryption methods,
TKIP and AES for data encryption. Select the type of
algorithm you want to use. The default is TKIP.
- RADIUS Server
Enter the RADIUS server’s IP
address.
- RADIUS Port
Enter the port number used by the
RADIUS server. The default is 1812.
- Shared Key
Enter the Shared Secret key used by the
Wireless Router and RADIUS server.
- Key Renewal
Enter a Key Renewal period, which
instructs the Wireless Router how often it should change the
encryption keys. The default is 3600 seconds.
PSK2-Enterprise
This option features PSK2 used in
coordination with a RADIUS server for client authentication.
(This should only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to
the Wireless Router.)
- Encryption
PSK2 always uses AES for data
encryption.
- RADIUS Server
Enter the RADIUS server’s IP
address.
- RADIUS Port
Enter the port number used by the
RADIUS server. The default is 1812.
- Shared Key
Enter the Shared Secret key used by the
Wireless Router and RADIUS server.
- Key Renewal
Enter a Key Renewal period, which
instructs the Wireless Router how often it should change the
encryption keys. The default is 3600 seconds.
RADIUS
- RADIUS Server
Enter the RADIUS server’s IP
address.
- RADIUS Port
Enter the port number used by the
RADIUS server. The default is 1812.
- Shared Key
Enter the Shared Secret key used by the
Wireless Router and RADIUS
server.
