These settings configure the security of your
wireless network. There are six wireless security modes supported by
the Router: PSK-Personal, PSK2-Personal, PSK-Enterprise,
PSK2-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.)
|
PSK-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
characters.
Key Renewal. Enter the Key Renewal period,
which tells the Router how often it should change encryption
keys.
|
|
PSK2-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
characters.
Key Renewal. Enter the Key Renewal period,
which tells the Router how often it should change encryption
keys.
|
|
PSK-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.
|
|
PSK2-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.
