WEP
WEP is a
basic encryption method, which is not as secure as the other two
methods, WPA-Personal and WPA-Enterprise. Select a
level of WEP encryption, 40/64-bit or 104/128-bit. If you want to use a Passphrase, then enter it in
the Passphrase field and click the Generate
button. If you want to enter the WEP key manually, then enter it
in the WEP Key 1-4 field(s). To indicate which WEP key to
use, select the appropriate TX Key number.
WPA-Personal
WPA used TKIP for encryption. Enter the Passphrase, which can
have 8 to 63 characters. Then enter the Key Renewal period,
which instructs the Router how often it should change the
encryption keys.
WPA2-Personal
WPA2-Personal is a stronger encryption method than WPA-Personal. This method
offers two encryption methods,
AES and WPA-TKIP or WPA2-AES,
with dynamic encryption keys. Select the type of encryption
method you want to use, AES or
WPA-TKIP or WPA2-AES. Enter the Passphrase, which
can have 8 to 63 characters. Then enter the Key Renewal period,
which instructs the Router how often it should change the
encryption keys.
WPA-Enterprise
This option
features a WPA-Personal used in coordination with a RADIUS
server that uses either EAP-TLS or PEAP as its authentication
method. (This should only be used when a RADIUS server is
connected to the Router.) First, select the type of encryption
method you want to use, TKIP or AES. Enter the
RADIUS server’s IP address and port number, along with the
authentication key shared by the Router and the server. Last,
enter the Key Renewal period, which instructs the Router how
often it should change the encryption keys.
WPA2-Enterprise
This option
features a WPA2-Personal used in coordination with a RADIUS
server that uses either EAP-TLS or PEAP as its authentication
method. (This should only be used when a RADIUS server is
connected to the Router.) First, select the type of encryption
method you want to use, AES or
WPA-TKIP or WPA2-AES. Enter the
RADIUS server’s IP address and port number, along with the
authentication key shared by the Router and the server. Last,
enter the Key Renewal period, which instructs the Router how
often it should change the 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.)
Enter the
RADIUS server’s IP address and port number, along with the
authentication key shared by the Router and the server. Last,
select a level of WEP encryption, 40/64-bit or 104/128-bit. If you want to use a Passphrase, then enter it in
the Passphrase field and click the Generate
button. If you want to enter the WEP key manually, then enter it
in the WEP Key 1-4 field(s). To indicate which WEP key to
use, select the appropriate TX Key number. |
