Encryption Type
: There are two encryption types
TKIP
and
AES (CCMP)
. While
AES provides better security than TKIP, some wireless client stations may not be
equipped with the hardware to support it. You can select
TKIP/AES
to allow TKIP
clients and AES clients to connect to the Access Point at the same time.
Key Renewal Interval
: A group key is used for multicast/broadcast data, and the
re-key interval is time period that the system will change the group key periodically.
The shorter the interval is, the better the security is. The default is 3600 sec.
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with Pre-Shared Key (PSK) provides better security than
WEP keys. It does not require a RADIUS server in order to provide association
authentication, but you do have to enter a shared key for the authentication purpose. The
encryption key is generated automatically and dynamically. WPA2-PSK adds CCMP and
AES encryption for even better security.
