Configuring WPA2-Personal and WPA2-Personal Mixed.
•
The WPA2 Personal, and WPA2 Personal Mixed, WPA2 Enterprise and WPA2
Enterprise Mixed security modes offer strong security to replace WEP.
•
WPA2-Personal
—(Recommended) WPA2 is the implementation of the
security standard specified in the final 802.11i standard. WPA2 supports
AES encryption, and this option uses Preshared Key (PSK) for authentication.
•
WPA2-Personal Mixed
—Allows both WPA and WPA2 clients to connect
simultaneously using PSK authentication.
The personal authentication is the PSK that is an alphanumeric passphrase shared
with the wireless peer.
To configure the WPA2 Personal security mode:
STEP 1
In the
Wireless Table (Wireless > Basic Settings)
, check the box for the network
you want to configure.
STEP 2
Click
Edit Security Mode.
The
Security Settings
page appears.
STEP 3
In the
Select SSID field
, select the SSID for which to configure the security
settings.
STEP 4
From the
Security Mode
menu, select one of the two WPA2 Personal options.
STEP 5
In the
Security Key
field, enter an alphanumeric phrase (8–63 ASCII characters or
64 hexadecimal digits). The password strength meter shows how secure the key
is: below minimum, weak, strong, very strong, or secure. We recommend using a
security key that registers on the strength meter as secure.
STEP 6
To show the security key as you are entering it, check the
Unmask Password
box.
