These settings configure the security of
your wireless network. There are six wireless security
modes supported by the Router: WPA-Personal,
WPA2-Personal, WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, RADIUS,
and WEP.
PSK stands for Pre-Shared Key, which is
stronger than WEP encryption. WEP stands for Wired
Equivalent Privacy, while RADIUS stands for Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service.)
|
WPA-Personal |
Encryption. Select the algorithm
you want to use, TKIP or AES. (AES
is a stronger encryption method than TKIP.)
Pre-shared Key. Enter the key
shared by the Router and your other network
devices. It must have 8-63 ASCII characters or 64
hex characters.
Key Renewal. Enter the Key
Renewal period, which tells the Router how often
it should change encryption keys.
|
| WPA2-Personal |
Encryption. Select the
algorithm(s) you want to use, AES or
TKIP or AES. (AES is a stronger encryption
method than TKIP.)
Pre-shared Key. Enter the key
shared by the Router and your other network
devices. It must have 8-63 ASCII characters or 64
hex characters.
Key Renewal. Enter the Key
Renewal period, which tells the Router how often
it should change encryption keys.
|
| WPA-Enterprise |
This option features PSK used in
coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should
only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to
the Router.)
Encryption. Select the
algorithm(s) you want to use, TKIP or
AES. (AES is a stronger encryption method
than TKIP.)
RADIUS Server. Enter the IP
address of your RADIUS server.
RADIUS Port. Enter the port
number of your RADIUS server.
Shared Key. Enter the key shared
by the Router and RADIUS server.
Key Renewal. Enter the Key
Renewal period, which tells the Router how often
it should change encryption keys.
|
| WPA2-Enterprise |
This option features PSK2 used in
coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should
only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to
the Router.)
Encryption. Select the
algorithm(s) you want to use, AES or
TKIP or AES. (AES is a stronger encryption
method
than TKIP.)
RADIUS Server. Enter the IP
address of your RADIUS server.
RADIUS Port. Enter the port
number of your RADIUS server.
Shared Key. Enter the key shared
by the Router and RADIUS server.
Key Renewal. Enter the Key
Renewal period, which tells the Router how often
it should change encryption keys.
|
| Radius |
This option features WEP used in
coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should
only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to
the Router.)
RADIUS Server. Enter the IP
address of your RADIUS server.
RADIUS Port. Enter the port
number of your RADIUS server.
Shared Key. Enter the key shared
by the Router and RADIUS server.
Encryption. Select the
appropriate level of encryption, 40/64-bit (10
hex digits) or 128-bit (26 hex
digits),
which is stronger encryption than
40/64 bit encryption.
Passphrase. To automatically
generate keys, enter your passphrase. Then click
the Generate button.
Key 1-4. If you want to manually
enter the WEP keys, then enter them in the Key
1-4 fields.
TX Key. To indicate which WEP
key to use, select a transmit key
number .

|
WEP |
WEP is a basic encryption method
offering two levels of encryption; 128-bit is
stronger than 40/64-bit encryption.
Encryption. Select the
appropriate level of encryption, 40/64-bit (10
hex digits) or 128-bit (26 hex
digits).
Passphrase. To automatically
generate keys, enter your passphrase. Then click
the Generate button.
Key 1-4. If you want to manually
enter the WEP keys, then enter them in the Key
1-4 fields.
TX Key. To indicate which WEP
key to use, select a transmit key
number. |
