Open
Open system authentication simply consists of two communications. The first is an
authentication request by the client that contains the station ID (typically the MAC address).
This is followed by an authentication response from the AP/router containing a success or
failure message. An example of when a failure may occur is if the client's MAC address is
explicitly excluded in the AP/router configuration.
Shared
Shared key authentication relies on the fact that both stations taking part in the authentication
process have the same "shared" key or passphrase. The shared key is manually set on both
the client station and the AP/router. Three types of shared key authentication are available
today for home or small office WLAN environments.
Auto
The AP will Select the Open or Shared by the client’s request automatically.
WPA-PSK
Select Encryption and Pre-share Key Mode
If you select HEX, you have to fill in 64 hexadecimal (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) digits.
If you select ASCII, the length of pre-share key is from 8 to 63.
Fill in the key, Ex 12345678
WPA
Check Box was used to switch the function of the WPA. When the WPA function is enabled,
the Wireless user must authenticate to this router first to use the Network service. RADIUS
Server IP address or the 802.1X server’s domain-name.
Select Encryption and RADIUS Shared Key.
If you select HEX, you have to fill in 64 hexadecimal (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) digits.
If you select ASCII, the length of pre-share key is from 8 to 63.
Key value shared by the RADIUS server and this router. This key value is consistent with the
key value in the RADIUS server.
WPA2-PSK
WPA2-PSK user AES and TKIP for Same the encryption, the others are same as the
WPA2-PSK.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
Another encryption options for WPA-PSK-TKIP and WPA2-PSK-AES, the others are same as
the WPA-PSK.
